      This adorable story is full of imagination and the silly way it can run away
with us no matter what age we are.  Sadie wakes up one morning with symptoms not 
of a cold or flu, but of becoming a leopard cub!  Before her mother knows it, 
Sadie is exhibiting more than symptoms; she is indeed a leopard cub right down to 
her sharp teeth and pointy ears!  The question becomes, "Where can Sadie go to 
be treated for this illness?"  She is passed from the pediatrician to the 
veterinarian to the zoo, until her mother takes charge as only a mother can. 
Through love and patience, Sadie returns to being a little girl again, but is Mom 
growing a tail now, too?!?
