Motorbike Bob (Pet Vet, Book 3)
by Darrel and Sally Odgers, illustrated by Janine Dawson
Ages 5-9 91 pages Kane/Miller June 2009 Paperback    

Motorbike Bob is a cute children's story narrated by a terrier named Trump who works as an assistant to veterinarian Dr. Jeanie. It's the third in the "Pet Vet" series, but it works fine on its own.

The book has several chapters in the story of Dr. Jeanie and Trump doing their rounds and meeting Motorbike Bob and his owner, eventually rescuing them after a motorbike crash. Each chapter features a little section at the end, 'Trump's Diagnosis', which draws a moral out of the preceding events. Some more complex words are explained in small boxes in the text, although I was somehow surprised at what was explained and what was not.

I believe this book is aimed at ages 4-8. It makes a good read but might be a bit too simple for the older end of that age range.
