Review

What might be a typical day at the Doctor's office is full of compassion, caring, and affection toward both the patients and a Doctor of very small stature. Mostly injured in winter sports or suffering the effects of the season a variety of forest animals enjoy the care of a skilled physician.

Written with wit and compassion this story approaches reality. Youngsters will love this as a story time selection appropriate for winter, forest animals, or a Doctor theme. The art work clearly show suffering patients in the waiting room who become animated following treatment. The color pallet is consistent with the types of animals who are brightened up with a human wardrobe. An unexpected twist is guaranteed to delight all readers. Add this to public libraries in the north and donate to pediatrician offices.

The top of the first few pages had not been cut on the copy reviewed.

Overall Book Score: good
