A rabbit with green pimples, a cockatoo with a cold, a crocodile with a tummy ache - Dr. Barrel is kept very busy in his surgery. But however different the illnesses and complaints of his patients, they all get the same prescription: a proper mixture of laughter, fun and silliness. Barrel's motto: "Laughter is the best medicine". This hilariously illustrated picture book has absolutely no side-effects and will make its way into the waiting rooms of hospitals and surgeries. The affectionately drawn characters will cause laughter even at the umpteenth reading!
