This book talks about a little boy named Timmy who developed tonsillitis and had to stay home from school. While at home Timmy learned that animals can get sick just like he did and need to be cared for by a Veterinarian. The animals sometimes will have to take medicine just like he had to take medicine. More important, Timmy learned that there is a God above who not only cares for him but also cares for animals to.
Excerpt
In a small white house not far from the city
There lived a little boy whose name was Timmy
Timmy loved to go to school each and everyday
He'd rather learn new things then go out and play
Reading books was Timmy's favorite thing to do
Stories he loved to read were like "Winny the Pooh"
Sometimes Timmy would paint pictures at school
A canvass he would paint on while he sat on a stool
But a day came along when Timmy became sick
Mommy had him stay home and school he surely did miss
Mommy took him to the doctor to have him checked out
The doctor said you have tonsillits, there's not even a doubt
Your tonsils are all swollen and look so very sore
I'll call in a prescription to your pharmacy store
Take this medicine that your mommy gives to you
Then in time you will feel good as new.
While Timmy was at home lying in his bed
A big question had just popped into his head
Do animals get sick like you or I do?
Do they go to the doctor, like Mommy took me to?
Timmy thought how the giraffe's neck was tall and so lean
Could a giraffe get a sore throat, just like you or me?......
