Say Woof!: The Day of a Country Veterinarian

Gibbons, Gail. Say Woof!: The Day of a Country Veterinarian. New York : Maxwell Macmillan International, 1992.

Plot: The book introduces young readers to veterinarians by recording a typical day for a country vet. While he takes care of some animals in his clinic, he must also go on "house calls" to farms and dairies. Also, he must help animals in emergency situations. 

Genre: Animals, Veterinarians

Reading Level: Ages 4-8

Similar Titles: I Want to Be a Veterinarian, DK Readers: Animal Hospital

Personal Thoughts: Overall, a good picture-book introduction to veterinarians. The terms are simple, but not condescending and the illustrations are visually appealing. Includes a glossary at the end of the book.

Side note: I really like the lighting in the picture. I wonder if I can replicate it.
