The Island Vet Series

by
(33 reviews)

For all animal lovers aged 7+, The Island Vet series is the perfect black-and-white illustrated series to get familiar with independent reading while meeting so many animal species.

Welcome to Gull Haven Island, where Tia's mum just got a new job as a vet! And there is no shortage of animals that need help here! Together with her mum, Tia works hard to help all animals, from sickly cows and newborn seal pups to even the most mysterious of species. Our young reviewer, Nara, aged 8, says, 'I really enjoyed this book because it made me feel like anyone can do anything.' And it is so true! Tia is an inspiring protagonist, and the books explore themes of family, community and friendship.
