(3) K-3 Illustrated by Miriam Latimer. Mr. Betts takes his eight pets to the vet, all with bad cases of spots. The cure leads to stripes, then to beards and other "disorders." The bouncing rhyming text and a catchy refrain (reminiscent of Millions of Cats) combine with expressive characters in the acrylic and collage illustrations to emphasize the absurdity of Mr. Betts's predicament.
