Format:Paperback
aside from the beautiful illustrations, this is a nice book to show children a) that mummys can be doctors, and men can be nurses, and b) what goes on in a hospital. There is a dog with a barky cough, a maternity ward full of puppies, kittens, and eggs ready to hatch, and an OAP ward with a crocodile who has lost his false teeth. Gently humorous, and also informative at an age appropriate level.
Format:Paperback
This book is written from the very funny point of view of a tapir child who goes with Dr Mummy to work.

What a wonderful story! It had me chuckling all the way through and I can't wait to share it with children. Terence goes off to the animal hospital with his mum, a doctor, for the day. In the wonderfully detailed illustrations, we follow him around the hospital - there is the boring waiting room, some animals who have had some very strange accidents (a giraffe with a crick in the neck; and a leopard who has lost his spots, for starters). And it gets better and better - the maternity ward is just brilliant, with all the baby animals in their cots. All the reality of a hospital but put across with enormous humour and with illustrations absolutely crammed with amusing detail. I thoroughly recommend this book - do get your child a copy; you won't regret it.
