Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Ducks, are you feeling left behind with no one to turn to this winter? Rain got you down, orangutans? Dont fear, because help is on the way!

Meet Dr. K. Fisher, animal agony columnist. Letters pour into his nest from all sorts of creatures, each in need of some answers and a little advice. In this collection, Dr. K. dispenses wisdom on the subject of weather from every corner of the globe. With a removable letter to readers, appealing artwork, and plenty of core knowledge, Ask Dr. K. Fisher is a hilarious and inventive introduction to the natural world.

Synopsis:

Chameleons, are you feeling blue? Life without a tail getting you down, geckos? Rats, do you have a python-playmate problem that has you living in fear? Help is on the way

Dr. K. Fisher dispenses suggestions to animals in need and along the way sneaks in some interesting information, too. No question is too strange for Dr. K.; he answers each with sympathy and knowledge. With the format of a picture book, an extra surprise--a letter from Dr. K.--inside, and the rich content of an animal encyclopedia, this funny series is the perfect combination of wacky humor and solid reference.
