If you like Dr. Seuss, you may like Chukovsky's "Doctor Ouch"!
Doctor Ouch (known in Russia as Doctor Aibolit) is a gentle veterinarian who travels to Africa to save the ailing children of the jungle animals.
A classic of Russian children's literature by the great writer Kornei Chukovsky, this story is now available in a new English translation with new illustrations by Jan Seabaugh.
Here is an excerpt from the book for you to get a feel of what it sounds like in English:
"Good Old Dr. Ouch, M. D.
sits and works beneath the tree.
Are you hurting anywhere?
Come into the doctor's care!
Bumblebee or tiny flee,
cow or wolf or grizzly bear,
all feel better once they see
gentle Dr. Ouch, M. D."
