When his pets suddenly develop spots, Mr Betts hurries to Mr Potts, the vet, for help. Mr Potts is happy to oblige, but his cure has alarming consequences. As the pets are afflicted with stripes, beards, tears and more, Mr Potts offers successive wonder medicines of different colours, until at last a remedy is found. Written in rollicking rhyme, and with illustrations that are just as outlandish as the story itself, Mr Betts and Mr Potts will appeal to everyone with a sense of the ridiculous.
