Enjoy your child's wondrous response as he or she becomes acquainted with Mocha, the Real Doctor, a lyrical, amusing story told in the manner of Margaret Wise Brown's Goodnight Moon.

Mocha lives in Dr. Susan's animal clinic where he sleeps all day. But wait! When the staff goes home, Mocha begins his rounds as he calls on a variety of hurting animals. Mocha gently sings, purrs and coaxes patients to health: the turtle who won't come out of his shell, kittens so tiny their eyes are still closed, a white rabbit with a sore foot. Dr. Mocha's gravest challenge is saved for last, a goldfish who has forgotten how to swim. Tempted to eat the helpless fish, Mocha remembers his true calling and goes about saving the goldfish.

Children will be enthralled with Mocha and his exploits as the real doctor who resides at Dr. Susan's clinic.
