Mr. Betts and Mr. Potts

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Jo Davies. Every time he takes his eight pets to the veterinarian, Mr. Betts goes home with a potion that cures them of their current ailment but brings on another one, from stripes to crying fits to shrinking. The rhyming text is amusing, though a bit contrived at times, and the lively pastel-colored illustrations expand on the story's silliness.
