Doctor Bear and Nurse Hippo have one bed reserved for each of the six funny animal patients in their hospital -- an aching elephant, an injured monkey, a gluttonous snake, a limping lion, an unhappy giraffe, and an unlucky alligator. Each animal appears on the cover of its own book, and each book nestles in one of the backing board's pockets. Elly Fant is bothered by a bumblebee, Monty the Monkey sprained his tail, Sydney the Snake has a lump from swallowing a melon whole, Lester Lion has a sore paw, Gerry Giraffe has a sore throat, and Allie Gator has a toothache. But now that they're in Animal Hospital, they'll all be well again soon.
