About the Author

Mubu The Little Animal Doctor™ series creator and author, Peter Alexander, has been writing about animals since he was twelve years old. His first book was called Striped Chipmunk. He took his book to Thornton W. Burgess, the famed author of the Old Mother West Wind series, which included Peter Rabbit Jimmy Skunk, Sammy Jay, Bobby Raccoon, Little Joe Otter, Grandfather Frog, and other beloved animals. Mr Burgess encouraged Peter to keep writing about animals. After he graduated from Boston University, Peter wrote and directed the famous documentary film called The Animals are Crying, which told the story of unwanted cats and dogs in the United States. His movie won first prizes at three film festivals. In Thailand, Peter became concerned about the plight of elephants in that country. He wrote a screenplay entitled The Earth Trembled that dramatized the problems of those great animals. His research led him to Lek Chailert, founder of the Elephant Nature Park, who told him the story of Goldie, her first elephant. Today, Peter lives in Thailand and America, and continues to write about Mubu The Little Animal Doctor, and to help abused and homeless animals wherever he goes.

Good Reads

Mubu & Mu-Mu: The Little Animal Doctor is a lovely children's book based on the true story of Lek Chailert, the director of the Elephant Nature Park in Thailand. Ms. Chailert has won numerous honors and awards for her work with animals, a talent which apparently surfaced when she was a young child. In my experience, kids really enjoy animals stories, and so do I. This alone made Mubu & Mu-Mu a joy to read. Knowing that it was something that really happened made it all the more special.
