Review Quotes

An engaging look at the worries dogs may face when visiting the vet. . . . They discuss many things the vet will do during a routine exam that parallel nicely to experiences children have when visiting the doctor. . . .Text is composed of clear, short sentences . . . illustrations mimic line drawing and watercolor, convey motion, and will keep readers engaged. The dogs' facial expressions add to the humor and create an opportunity for readers to practice nonverbal cues. VERDICT The ­humor and fun illustrations make this a good addition to early reader collections.--School Library Journal "7/01/25"
