ABOUT

For fans of Richard Scarry and Busytown, this funny and informative picture book set in a hospital features lively animals as doctors, nurses, and emergency workers in a rollicking story, with detail-packed illustrations.

The hospital workers of the Breezy Valley Hospital are always ready to provide top-notch medical care to the residents of their beloved town. Doctors, nurses, lab workers, kitchen staff, and maintenance workers are just a few of the staff working to keep the hospital running smoothly. And when emergencies happen, the EMTs (Emergency Medical Technicians) and their ambulance come to the rescue—like when Lemur needed to be brought to the hospital to get treatment for their injured tail! Lively action, peeks into key hospital rooms, and more will keep young readers engaged in this second title in the Breezy Valley at Work series.

STANDARD, PRIMARY, DM AND VARIANT COVERS

Standard and Primary covers are widely available through general retailers. They often have higher print runs and can be cheaper, especially during sales.

In contrast, Direct Market (DM) and variant covers are primarily sold in comic shops. DM editions tend to have more limited availability and may be more valuable to collectors.

The main differences lie in artwork style, availability, price, and collector appeal. Ultimately, the choice between standard and variant covers depends on personal preference, budget, and individual collecting goals.
