Summary: A leopard walks around the zoo and decides he wants to be part of the zoo, but the zoo does not want him. Outside the zoo the leopard meets a little boy and a little girl, they ask him what he can do that would make him be a good attraction in the zoo. He changes the colors of his spots, takes them off and puts them on other things, changes their sizes and shapes, and many other fun things. The children love what he does with all his spots but they tell him that he does not belong at the zoo, and they take him to the circus where he finds the home he desires entertaining people with his spots.

My Reaction to the Book: I liked the illustrations in this book, although it is suppose to be a leopard it doesn’t look like one. The story is good and it is fun to see the things that he can do with his spots.

Potential Problems: No potential problems found really--the little girl's skirt is kind of short but that is all.

Recommendations: I would recommend this book for small children because it is easy to read and fun.
