The Gumboyle family have a family pet--a dog--who just happens to be a doctor. How convenient--a dog who is both a pet and a personal physician, able to dish out advice and remedies for any complaint! Written and illustrated by the award- winning Babette Cole, this is an extremely funny book. Suitable for reading to three-year-olds and older; suitable for six-year-olds and above to read to themselves. --Susan Naylor "Charming, educative (in a rather naughty way) and funny...Take daily, repeatedly!" The Observer "Sound advice here, along with some good rude fun." The Guardian
