To overcome his fears, Simon travels deep into his imagination and comes up with some clever ideas … First, Simon becomes a lion. But lions are too strong to need medicine. Then, he decides to become a turtle. But turtles are too slow to go to the doctors. Then, he becomes an alligator. And suddenly, his skin is too thick for vaccines.
