Mrs Vole the Vet

Allan Ahlberg's 'Mrs Vole the Vet' introduces readers to a busy, content single mother who is a dedicated veterinarian. She has a bustling household with her two daughters, one son, three cats, and four dogs. While Mrs. Vole feels she has everything she needs, her children have other ideas and embark on a mission to find her a boyfriend. This charming picture book explores themes of family, independence, and the humorous misunderstandings that can arise from a child's perspective on adult relationships. It's suitable for children aged 3-7, offering a gentle and funny look at different family structures and the meaning of happiness.

Mrs Vole the Vet has one son, two daughters, three cats, four dogs and no husband. Really, she has everything she needs and she works very hard - no job is too big, too small or too high - but her children think that what she really needs is a boyfriend!
