Description
The Marvellous Doctors for Magical Creatures invites readers into a whimsical world where the extraordinary meets the everyday. Ava and her Dads are the town's beloved doctors, specialising in the care of magical creatures. They tackle a variety of ailments, from unicorns with tummy troubles to dragons nursing broken wings, and even mermaids suffering from measles.
The Plot
As Ava embarks on her journey to become a doctor, she delights in unraveling medical mysteries alongside her Dads. The story takes a turn when Glitterbug, a unicorn who defies the norm by preferring mud to dancing, arrives with an unusual tummy ache. Faced with this unique case, Ava and her Dads must dig deep to uncover the root of Glitterbug's discomfort. Through their investigation, Ava learns valuable lessons about identity, acceptance, and the importance of being true to oneself.
Themes
- Acceptance: The narrative encourages readers to embrace individuality.
- Curiosity: Ava's inquisitive nature highlights the importance of asking questions and seeking answers.
- Compassion: The bond between Ava and her Dads exemplifies the love and care that exists in a family, no matter how unconventional.
The story, filled with enchanting illustrations and charming dialogue, captures the imagination and imparts meaningful messages. Readers who enjoyed The Tale of Despereaux by Kate DiCamillo or How to Train Your Dragon by Cressida Cowell will find joy in Ava's adventures.
