(4) PS Tried of feeling "odd," a spotless guinea fowl sends away for spots, and he gets all kinds: die-cut spots; "connect-the-dots spots"; and, eventually, colorful, textured "spots that were wrong / in the right sort of way." The story suffers from clumsy wording, including the final be-yourself-and-others-will-like-you moral, but the creative dot variants, engaging tactile elements, and expressive-eyed fowl will entice readers.
