VETERINARY REVIEWS

“I love the concept! Introducing young readers to veterinary medicine in a simple, straightforward format. What a valuable tool in the early education of future veterinarians.”
Dr. Jennifer Carl-Howard, Veterinarian
Nicholasville, Kentucky

“Dr. Carpenter's Lilly's Heart will answer the dreams of so many children wanting to become a veterinarian. The story is presented at a level easily comprehended by children of ages 4 to 8. The reader learns how the heart functions and how a veterinarian takes care of a sick pet. Colorful illustrations grab the reader's eyes. I commend Dr. Carpenter and highly recommend his book as an entertaining way of introducing a child to the thrilling world of veterinary medicine.”
Dr. Brian Beale, Veterinary Surgical Specialist, Houston, Texas

“Lilly's Heart is a delightful introduction to veterinary medicine for young children. The book's illustrations are fascinating and age appropriate for elementary school students but do not overwhelm them with too much complexity. Ichabod is certainly the most charming character to be enjoyed in this book and, hopefully, many other books to follow.”
Dr. Kathy Gloyd, Veterinarian and President, The Gloyd Group, a Veterinary Education Company

“Dr. Carpenter's book is well written and beautifully illustrated. My 6-year-old son and I have read it (over and over) before bedtime. It is one of his favorites!”
Dr. Ben Parker, Veterinarian, Hilton Head, South Carolina

“This is a wonderful book for children who want to become veterinarians when they grow up.”
Ms. Hayley Schnakenberg (Dr. Atkins' 7-year-old niece)

“Every child loves animals. Dr. Carpenter has found a way to take a child and a veterinarian's common love and introduce the basics of veterinary medicine in a fun and educational way.”
