Great book with lots of rhyming so plenty of opportunities for little ones to join in and complete the sentences.

It was fun to read from beginning to end. It was about the animals that have spots, stripes, beards and crying. Good thing that all get better in the end.

My favorite character was Mr Potts because he gave Mr Betts lots of potions. I would recommend all my friends to read this book.

I thought this was a good book. This is a fiction book, written in rhyme. I love rhyming books. I really liked the Doctor. She was very funny because she seemed to keep giving the pets the wrong medicine. However, in the end she worked out that they just needed to be fed and they would be back to normal! I didn't think there was anything sad in the book.

I liked the part where the animals had spots and Dr. Potts made a potion to cure but instead they had stripes.

I liked it because mr Betts came to the doctor because all of his animals have spots and they gave him potions but they made them have stripes and beards instead. Then they got small and they just had to feed them to make them big again
