This is the kind of book series I would have loved to read as a kid when I was going through my "I want to be a veterinarian to help animals" phase. Somehow, reading it with the 9-year-old I tutor made me feel nostalgic. I love the illustrations and the informative sections where Mimi does her research on the animal featured in the book. The storytelling encourages kids to put together the clues and make guesses along with her and Maty, which is great for getting young animal-loving readers invested.
