Posy the Puppy

Beatrix Potter meets Grey’s Anatomy as a feline medic tends to animals’ scraped ears, hurt ankles, and other bumps and bruises in this series opener. Dr. KittyCat’s cool confidence is balanced by the giddy fun of the premise, which the artwork really sells. Photographic b&w animals get crayonlike digital outfits accented with purple—with her lab coat and nurse-style cap, Dr. KittyCat could have stepped out of a Richard Scarry book. The Holmes-and-Watson rapport between Dr. KittyCat and her assistant Peanut, playful details like the cozy “vanbulance” the good doctor drives around, and dashes of medical information add up to a well-rounded and very fun read. Simultaneously available: Clover the Bunny. Ages 7–10. (Mar.)
