For beginning readers, these two books about animals use weak fictional narratives to present nonfiction information. In Animal Hospital, brothers Luke and Jack bring an injured duck to the vet; twins Jessica and Sam learn to be responsible for their new dog in Surprise Puppy! Photos stripped of backgrounds and set on expanses of white space give each volume a stiff, artificial look.
