Leopardpox! submitted by PizzaPuppy on May 12, 2015, 5:47pm Leopardpox!, by first-time author Orna Landau, is an adorable new addition to our collection. In the story, Sadie is having the funnest sick day ever. The reason why? Sadie has developed a wild case of the leopardpox!

When little Sadie falls ill and is transformed into a leopard cub (claws, spots and all), her mother doesn't know what to do. Sadie's mother takes her to the pediatrician, who cannot help because he is "a doctor for children, not for leopards". Sadie's brother suggests they take her to the veterinarian, who also cannot help due to the fact that Sadie is a perfectly healthy leopard cub. Sadie and her family race around town in an attempt to find a cure. Will Sadie have the leopardpox forever?

This imaginative story features delightful and cartoonish illustrations and small, funny details throughout the book (particularly the ending). Fans of the book may also enjoy other silly stories such as Diary of a Worm, Duck on a Bike or Niño Wrestles the World.
