Dr. Meow’s Big Emergency is the first in a series of books which all take place in the friendly Whoops-a-Daisy World. In this exciting adventure, Tom Cat has hurt his leg, and Doctor Meow must help him right away. Doctor Meow and her helpers are good neighbors, and good friends, too!Sam Lloyd’s humorous, brightly colored art is thoroughly kid-friendly, and will appeal to fans of Richard Scarry.Each book will feature a different character, but all of the characters reappear throughout the series, so kids can return to their favorite friends in various books. Stay tuned for the second installment from Whoops-a-Daisy World, Chief Rhino to the Rescue! Publishers WeeklyLloyd (Mr. Pusskins) gets in touch with her inner Richard Scarry for a book that's busy-as-a-bee chipper. Doctor Meow, a female kitty, is chief of staff at Kiss-It-Better Hospital-and talk about a health-care crisis: "There are temperatures to take, heartbeats to listen to, baby bunnies to feed, and look at Monkey-what's he got stuck on his head this time?" Despite all the demands, the animals clearly know they're in good hands with Doctor Meow and her trusty ambulance driver, Woof (whose vehicle gives readers a chance to chime in with "Wee-ooo, wee-ooo"). In fact, the good doctor is even able to heal the social fabric after Tom Cat falls out of a tree (the titular emergency) in pursuit of Mr. Bird. The big, slightly retro pop-off-the-page cartooning makes the book ideal for sharing with a group; the pictures welcome readers with open arms, but pack a surprising dramatic punch, too. The happy prognosis: more titles set in Lloyd's Whoops-a-Daisy World are in the works. Ages 3-6. (Sept.)Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

All rights reserved.\ \ \ School Library JournalPreS-Gr 1\ The author-illustrator of Mr. Pusskins (S & S, 2006) embarks on the first of several upcoming books set in Whoops-a-Daisy World in this story of a feline doctor, a canine ambulance driver, and one particularly silly emergency at Kiss-it-Better Hospital. With thick, curved, sometimes broken outlines, Lloyd's animal faces portray ranges of emotion that belie their simple line, and her scenes are full of whimsical and humorous detail. Unfortunately, the text fails to match the light tone of her drawings. Weighed down by clichéd and didactic superficiality, the plot manages to collect the worst of every patronizing verbal habit an adult might use with a child. Additionally, the quick, marshmallow-sweet resolution of the central conflict-that Tom Cat chased Mr. Bird up a tree and then fell and broke his leg-further mires the book in an emergency even the competent Doctor Meow would be hard-pressed to fix.-Bethany Isaacson, Wheaton Regional Library, Silver Spring, MD\ \ \ \ \ \ Kirkus ReviewsUnder the auspices of the Kiss-it-Better Hospital, the intrepid Dr. Meow turns catastrophe into a happy ending. Lloyd's sprightly tale peeks into the life of Dr. Meow as she attends to the various maladies of the residents of Whoops-a-Daisy World. Emergency looms when Tom Cat breaks his leg chasing after Mr. Bird, but Dr. Meow adeptly mends both appendage and rift between cat and bird, eliciting a vow from Tom Cat not to chase Mr. Bird any more. The intensely bright illustrations practically pop off the page with their Curious George colors and compositions. The crisply defined sketches seize readers, pulling them into the friendly, fun environs of Whoops-a-Daisy World. The effective combination of a lively tale and equally vivacious illustrations deftly defuse what might otherwise be an anxiety-filled scenario for young readers; the arduous experience of visiting a hospital is made infinitely better under the caring paws of Dr. Meow. Inaugurates the Whoops-a-Daisy World series. (Picture book. 4-8)\ \
