We all know that vets help our pets when they are unwell and help us to keep our pets in tip-top condition. But did you know that vets use LOTS of science to do their job? In this title for early readers, the Little Scientists take their pets to the vet's surgery and investigate topics such as how scientific questioning helps vets diagnose animal illnesses, how vets must understand the anatomy of many different animals and how they use scientific equipment, such as stethoscopes, otoscopes and X-ray machines to examine and treat our pets. This colourful, quirky and delightful first look at the work of a vet will help young readers develop a love of reading and of science.
