"Doctor Papa" by Sophie May is a children's novel written in the late 19th century.

The book is filled with whimsical incidents that highlight Flaxie's innocence and mischief, buoyed by her relationships with family and friends. The opening of "Doctor Papa" introduces us to Flaxie Frizzle as she energetically engages with her brother Preston, showcasing her playful nature through a cleverly crafted arithmetic question.
