letter and locate the word in the text.
• Discuss any unfamiliar concepts that are in the text.
After Reading Activities
Encourage children to talk about different animals in the book
and the way they think the vet might have helped each of
them. Then shift the discussion to other ways animals might
need help and how people might be able to help them. Invite
them to share their own experiences. Have they ever helped
an animal?
