80s booklet "When Your Child Has a Fever"

When I was a kid in the early 1980s I remember in our house there was a booklet called "When Your Child Has a Fever" that fascinated me. It had descriptions of all different ways to take temperatures as well as treatments, etc. My parents didn't actually take my temperature rectally but the idea that this was something that could happen, and to a child about my age, was incredibly fascinating. At first it seemed repellent, then somehow over time it became something I wished I could experience and wondered what it would feel like. I remember looking at the pictures in the booklet over and over again. I remember that it recommended that babies should have rectal temperatures taken on their stomachs but an older child who was more cooperative could lie on their side with their knees bent.

I think it must have been this one, put out by McNeil, the makers of Children's Tylenol, though it's not available now: https://www.amazon.com/When-your-child-has-fever/dp/B0006YH09E

I also found a reference to it in a Hints from Heloise column in 1985: https://www.newspapers.com/newspage/106159350/

Does anyone else remember this booklet, or something like it?

I don't remember that one! We had Dr. Spock's book, though, which was downright graphic. It instructed mothers to hold a thermometer "like a cigarette" between their fingers as they held on to it during the reading.

I remember seeing something similar at my pediatrician's office when I was in middle school. Though the one I saw only had a few pages, it did have drawings of all three methods of temperature taking. I grabbed a copy but my mother found it and threw it away. "No need for that" she said.
