Cody and his parents have recently moved from the ranch to a small town, where Cody’s dad is starting a veterinarian practice. Unfortunately, it is off to a slow start, so, instead of helping her husband at the clinic, Cody’s mom has taken a job at the bank. Cody, a freshman in high school, has to help out by working for his dad at the clinic after school and on Saturday mornings. Whenever he has the time, he hangs out with his Arabian gelding, Lance. But he thinks Lance is probably bored on school days, so he arranges to let Barb, who runs a horse therapy stable, use him as a therapy horse during the daytime. Cody doesn’t make friends easily in his new school, but he thinks he will, if he can talk his parents into letting him try out for the JV basketball team. He was the star point-guard at his old school and loved it. But he is needed at the clinic during practice hours. Chloe, who also has a horse and has to pay for his keep by herself, arranges to take Cody’s place at the clinic in exchange for any vet work her horse requires. This frees Cody to try out for the team. What happens on the court and at the clinic as well as with Lance leads to some exciting skirmishes.

The Tinyville Town series, new from New York Times bestselling author and illustrator Brian Biggs, launches with three books: Tinyville Town Gets to Work!, a world-establishing picture book that introduces the town and its many residents, and two board books, I’m a Veterinarian and I’m a Firefighter. The series is set in a cozy community where the people are kind, everyone says hello when they’re walking down the street, the bus is always on time, and all the townsfolk do their part to keep things running smoothly. Everyone has a job to do in Tinyville Town. With a nod to the busy world of Richard Scarry and the neighborhood feel of Sesame Street, this new series will become a favorite read for preschoolers and is ideal for story time and class discussions about occupations and community helpers. Tinyville Town is a growing, thriving city full of interesting people. They can’t wait to show readers around! In I’m a Veterinarian, we see what it’s like in a day in the life of a town animal doctor. Tinyville Town’s veterinarian begins her day at home with her two cats, two dogs, and one fish. Once at work, she examines a firefighter’s dalmatian, who is not feeling well at all. Follow along as the vet runs tests and makes a surprising discovery! This book will comfort a child bringing a beloved pet to the vet for the first time, and satisfy an inquisitive child’s curiosity about what an animal doctor does, how they are able to diagnose so many different kinds of pets, and how their office is different from their own doctors. Every town has at least one vet office, and Tinyville’s is the one kids will want to visit again and again.
