Take Diamond the python for example.

When Diamond escapes from a moving van, all the animals panic. It's up to Trump, Dr. Jeanie's Jack Russell terrier, to calm them down, and to help find Diamond.

Six year read half this book herself. Her review: This is a story of a python and it sparked my interest in pythons.

Read with my 10 year old. The story moved along at a good pace, it had positive characters and was educational. It highlighted charactistics of dogs, cats and python in a way that fit the story and added to the book without being to weighed down with facts. Very good for a kids book.

I wish the snake did something more. These title’s should all be “Trump’s Adventures Vol. 1” and so on with “Python problem” as the subtitle. It makes you think the story will be about the snake... it should have been more about Peter Wu... now that was a good scene!

The problem in this book is that there was a python that broke out of its cage and went all over the place. Trump, a dog that helps a pet vet, tried to figure out where the python went.

I liked this book because it had a lot of animals in it like the other books I read from this series.

Another fantastic addition to the Pet Vet series. I've been reading these books with my son. We both love Trump's dedication and spunk. I'm a big fan of Major Higgins!

[Carina Martin · Rating 4 out of 5]

I think four stars because the I thought the book was a little disappointing.

[Laura Smith · Rating 4 out of 5]

We’ve probably liked the other books in the series more, but we still enjoyed this. Looking forward to the next book!

The python shows up in the first and last chapter. Disappointing if you want a story about Pythons. :-)
