Comments:
Full page color photos accompany this collection of quick glimpses into what
veterinarians do. The quality of the photographs is generally quite
good, and a fairly multicultural cross-section of people is portrayed.
I personally was bothered, however, by the lack of any connecting narrative
thread... instead this title offers a series of random snapshots. Still,
a reader who doesn't mind expanding on the narrative or is using the title
with other books might find this a useful supplemental title.
