Synopsis
“Leopardpox!” shouts Mama when her little girl becomes a frisky leopard cub. Now what? Mama and Sadie’s three brothers take Sadie to the doctor, who says, “I’m not a doctor for leopards.” Then they try the vet, who says, “If this is a leopard cub, it’s a healthy leopard, but if this is a little girl, then she is very ill.” The zoo would be happy to keep her, but no one likes the idea of leaving her behind. No, decides Mama, they’ll take care of her at home, where rest and kindness work wonders. Explosively funny, slightly retro-looking illustrations accompany the laugh-aloud text, which takes a sly dig at the medical establishment while affirming the power of comfort from Mama. And—who knew?—leopardpox may just be contagious!

From School Library Journal
PreS-Gr 3—Sadie wakes up feeling funny. Her symptoms include a cough that turns into a roar, teeth that grow sharper, and a spotted, furry coat. Her peculiar case of "Leopardpox" sends the experts into a quandary. After examining the little girl, the pediatrician haughtily says, "I'm not a doctor for leopards," while the veterinarian says, "Are you sure you don't want to keep her the way she is?" At the zoo, everyone is excited about seeing a new leopard, but Sadie's fiercely protective mama knows what is best for her little cub. Hoffmann's mixed-media illustrations showcase Sadie the leopard wreaking havoc in doctors' waiting rooms, leaping onto furniture, knocking over plants, and leaving perplexed patients in her wake. The text is also full of dry quips, such as "I'm not sure they will let her into kindergarten like this." In this quirky tale, a mother's love proves to be the perfect cure.—Linda Ludke, London Public Library, Ontario, Canada
