I enjoyed this entry in the Meg and Mog series, which, following upon the earlier Owl at School, is the second to focus on Owl's experiences. Helen Nicoll's simple text, split between straightforward narrative and exclamations and sound-words, is well-matched by Jan Pieńkowski's vivid illustrations, which always accentuate the humor in the story. I thought the scene in which the various animals wait to be seen by the vet - the bear has his head stuck in a pot of some kind (perhaps of honey?), an ostrich has swallowed a teacup, the outline of which can be seen in his slender throat - was especially charming. I also appreciate the fact that the vet here is a man of color, something unremarked upon in the text. Recommended to young children who enjoy witchy fare, who are approaching a hospital visit, or who are fans of this series. ( )
