Quick Summary
When Ben spends the summer in his grandfather's sleepy town, he stumbles upon a secret world where imaginary creatures are real and need doctors just as much as any pet. Kids will giggle at the wacky patients (a dehydrated thunderbird, a dragon with a sore throat), root for the unlikely friendship between cautious Ben and his fearless new partner, and devour each page to see what magical animal needs saving next. If your kid loves the wild humor of Captain Underpants mixed with the imagination of Magic Tree House, they'll be completely hooked. Perfect for grades 3 through 6.
