Dr. Potts, My Pets Have Spots!

"A fun read aloud for story times about veterinarians and pets" – Youth Services Book Review

The Betts family pets have got the spots! But when the vet's advice only turns the critters' spots to stripes, what will the Betts crew do next? As kids giggle and guess their way through this riotously funny picture book, they'll practice recognizing patterns and build literacy skills. Written by legendary British comedian Rod Hull and illustrated by Barefoot favorite Miriam Latimer.

Rod Hull worked for nearly forty years as an entertainer, writing many children's books and performing around the globe on television, radio and the stage. He is best remembered for his act with his puppet Emu. Rod's family is delighted to have this book published in his memory.

Miriam Latimer studied illustration at the University of the West of England. She now works as a full-time illustrator and combines this with workshops for primary school children. Miriam lives with her husband and their two sons in Devon, England.
