This book is about Dr. Rabbit and Nurse Peacock and the importance of their jobs in the wooded village called Roseville. The doctor and the nurse set up their new medical clinic and are determined to invite the other animals for a visit. They also want to educate the animals on the importance of getting vaccinations and medical checkups. The doctor and the nurse face rejection at first, but they are eventually accepted and loved by all the animals in the village.
There is also a lesson that we can learn from this story. All the animals who refused to listen to Dr. Rabbit and Nurse Peacock realize in the end that they do need their help. Even the hen who chases them away comes forward and offers an apology when her wing is injured. This book teaches us the importance of not turning our backs on anyone because we may need them one day.
