I've got to say, I find this book (and the others in the series) eg. Frank the Farmer (Jobs People Do),Daisy the Doctor (Jobs People Do),Fred the Fire-fighter (Jobs People Do), a bit dull but my kids (of 3 and 6) absolutely love them and ask for them again and again. The stories are a simple working day in the life of someone. Not terribly dramatic but full of detail that kids find interesting. They are well thought out and very educational but lack any magic - the language is functional but lacks beauty. The stories are illustrated with clay models and these are lots of fun and full of amazing detail. My kids love to find the characters and objects from one story in others in this series and also in the simpler Usborne word board books such as First Words (Usborne Look and Say). They are real favourites for bedtime stories plus the kids look at them on their own - if I'd known how popular they'd be I would've bought the compilation book.

older version
9 Feb 2008
Format:Paperback
This is the older version of Vicky the Vet, part of the Jobs People Do series. There is a newer version now on www.suesbooks.info, but it's still a great book. Children love the reading about the day in the life of a vet and other jobs. It's great for preschools. Notice that all the jobs also teach diversity and are multi-cultural.
Great educational book for animal lovers!

Format:Paperback
My children loved this book! The story involves a typical day at a vet's office and is entertaining while being educational. The illustrations are bright and eye catching. The author uses many words associated with the profession (antibiotic, kennel, etc.) and defines the terms in the back of the book in a way that children can understand. We first got this one from the library and are planning to add it to our own collection.
