ReviewedWhen Kat needs something to distract her from her new baby sister, it’s the perfect time to go exploring in the forest. She and Rosie find a baby gem dragon coughing and spluttering in the Crystal Caves. What has made her whole colony so sick, and could it have something to do with the gnomes’ new mining machines? It’s time to start an anti-pollution campaign—with just a little help from Dr. Hart!
In this new chapter book series, best friends Cat and Rosie help out at Calico Comfrey’s Veterinary Surgery. But this isn’t just any surgery, Calico Comfrey is a wizard and his vets care for magical creatures. In each of these six volumes, the girls help find and care for the magical creatures who live in the enchanted Starfall forest near their homes. When not helping a unicorn, sea dragon, or baby yeti, among others, Cat and Rosie make new friends, struggle with school work, and work on cultivating their confidence and courage. While not a new concept, this series is fun and well presented, with its own magical system and adorable creatures that will interest young readers who can’t get enough magical stories. VERDICT Recommended for collections where magical animal stories such as “Zoey and Sassafrass” and “Fairy Unicorns” are in demand.
