For little ones itching to operate on the family pooch, this toy offers an educational diversion. The fold-out vet's office has everything the doctor ordered to treat the patient, including mini-stethoscope, syringe, ear scope, and bottles of medicine. The set also includes a patient chart for medics to write on, X-Ray cards to consult, and a plastic pup in need of medical attention. Though the components are nothing fancy, youngsters will flock to this toy, which cultivates imaginative play and teaches the basics of what to expect in the vet's (or doctor's) office.
