Grand-Daddy Whiskers, M.D.

"Grand-Daddy Whiskers, M.D." by Nellie M. Leonard is a delightful children's story that follows a wise mouse who takes on the role of a doctor, using his knowledge to tend to the health problems of his animal neighbors in a village near Pond Lily Lake. When Grand-Daddy Whiskers and his caring family respond to a call for aid from the woodland creatures in the town, his granddaughter, Dot, becomes a teacher and they encounter interesting characters such as Lady Spider and Squire Cricket. Together, they face light-hearted challenges, like dealing with naughty children and surviving a woods fire, while sharing important lessons about teamwork and caring through humorous and heartwarming tales. As the seasons change, the story shows how working together helps the woodland community grow stronger than ever.
