The Book
Dr. Mouse is the choice physician for the whole animal community. He is friendly and wise and truly desires to be there for his patients. He only allows six patients a day and only sees them one at a time.
He begins his day by swinging open the old barn door and hanging out his shingle... "Consultations from sunrise to sunset." He arranges his six chairs, dons his white lab coat and lays three cushions on a wobbly armchair. On top of the pile he conducts his business for the day while snacking on his breakfast cheese.
He is not disappointed by a slow, no-show day because in comes a chicken, a dog, a bear, an owl, and finally a fox. Dr. Mouse directs them to their designated seats in his waiting room. His strict rule is that no business is conducted until all six chairs are occupied.
After the sixth patient arrivals Dr. Mouse tends to his patient's health needs one at a time as specified. As each wait their turn to see the good doctor a lot of the healing is administered from patient to patient and the doctor becomes the facilitator.
The illustrations are well detailed, witty and oftentimes funny. Problem solving by the group turns into therapy sessions and medical breakthroughs.
Doctor Mouse giggled, and gobbles up his last cube of cheese. "Isn't it wonderful, my dears? Everybody is fit and well again, all bright and cheerful."
The satisfied animals all cured of their maladies leave exhausted Dr. Mouse sound asleep on his pillow and once outside they declare to the world:
"He's SO nice!" says dog.
"Best doctor in the world," boomed the bear. "He always knows what to do."
