My Mommy is a Vet

Sold on Amazon as My Mommy is a Vet (US spelling)

Her patients cannot tell her where it hurts. That is the whole job.

Every child who loves animals asks the same question eventually: how does the vet know? This book answers it, and the answer turns out to be a lesson worth having.

No animal in this story is badly hurt and nothing frightening happens. The quiet idea underneath is that when somebody cannot tell you what is wrong, you watch them carefully instead — which is a kind thing for any small person to learn.
