Includes short scientific glossary.

My daughter loved this series - she thought the idea of being a vet for magical creatures was charming, she learned a lot about the scientific method, and she liked the quirky topics it covered (the next book is about mold!). The later books in the series can get a little bit woke environmentally, so avoid them if that's not your ideological cup of tea, but the first few are good for all readers.

A young black girl who is interested in scientific observation. Like Zoey's mom, she has a talent for helping injured animals that come to her. One day a sick baby dragon comes to her and she has to figure out a way to help it. This book was written for third to fourth graders as a transitional type novel. ( )
