We have the whole collection of these books-Tessa the Teacher, Same the chef, Fred the Firefighter, etc. They are SO descriptive that my kids are left with very few questions at the end of the story : )

There was clearly effort put into making this book about a day in the life of a vet clinic informative and accurate. The computer-generated pictures are a little weird.

My three-year-old likes it.
