Book excerpt: Illustrated in full color. Thirty-seven years after creating the breakthrough reader "Put Me in the Zoo," Robert Lopshire has brought Spot back. This time, Spot must perform new and exciting tricks in order to convince the circus folks to keep him on. He changes colors, he breaks out in plaid and argyle, and even does his best Jackson Pollock imitation. The result? Old Spot might just be too good for the circus!
