This Is a Hospital, Not a Zoo!

48 pp. January, 1998 | Trade ISBN 0-395-72099-0
(4) K-3 Young Filbert MacFee is sick of being in the hospital, so he eats some magic animal crackers. He changes into different animals at will to avoid shots, medicine, and other hospital discomforts. After a lot of monkey business, kindly Dr. Kebob diagnoses Filbert's real affliction--homesickness. Although overly long, the outlandish story and cartoon illustrations make this an entertaining read.
