[Tobinsfavorite · Rating 3 out of 5]

I'm sorry that my review of this book will bring its average so far down. (There's one other rating, and it's 5 stars.) I wanted to give four stars just to present my general good feeling towards this book, but I couldn't do it.
This is a book of cartoons and doggerel by a veterinarian, and I am certainly not in the target audience. Some of the cartoons were laugh-out-loud funny, a very few were all but incomprehensible to me, but the majority were quite amusing. The poems were, by and large, about topics we wouldn't discuss at the dinner table, but that was surely the point, as the veterinarian daily, hourly, deals with things we wouldn't discuss at the dinner table. All in all, if I were a vet, I would probably give this 5 stars, but as I am not, only a person who likes my pets, appreciates my vet, and enjoys a good joke, I'd have to say: I liked this book.
(This is another I picked up off the free shelf based on the title alone.)
