OLIVIA Becomes a Vet (Olivia TV Tie-in)
There are lots of dogs of all shapes and sizes at the animal shelter. But Kate and her mom and dad know they want Dave the moment they see him. He’s small and cute and a perfect fit for the end of Kate’s bed. But then they see Rosy, who is old and gray and broad as a table. How can they take home just one dog when there are so many wonderful animals who need a home? Bob Graham creates an original, endearing family in a touching story that will appeal to animal lovers everywhere.
A charming carrot-colored cat wants to walk on the wild side — as a dog. But do dogs really have the upper paw? This confused kitty thinks so, at least until her helpful owner proves that life as a feline really is the cat’s pajamas. Lydia Monks’ bouncy rhymes and inventive collage illustrations are purr-fect for young pups and kittens.
A great introduction to veterinarians and what they do. Young animal lovers can follow a step-by-step story about a day in the life of a vet. Enhanced with photographs and simple text, this is a perfect book for beginning readers.
