Dr KittyCat is Ready to Rescue: Clover the Bunny

eBook
(Oxford University Press, Feb. 5, 2015)
'We'll be there in a whisker!' The series follows the first-aid adventures of Dr KittyCat and Peanut the mouse who's always at her side. Each book will focus on a small furry patient who badly needs Dr KittyCat's help. With fun and familiar contexts that children can relate to, lovable characters, and strong storylines around each medical emergency, the Dr KittyCat series has real appeal for the target audience. There is just the right mix of compelling first-aid detail combined with a delightfully surreal furry world. The books share a unique visual identity - they are highly-illustrated in two colour, combining photography and hand-drawn elements. In Clover the Bunny, pawpox is doing the rounds just as the animals are meant to be heading off on a camping trip. Will at least some of them be healthy enough to go? Once they arrive at the campsite, Clover's paws are covered in itchy little spots. Is it the outbreak of pawpox that Dr KittyCat has feared or could there be another explanation?
