My kids love this book!
Reviewed in the United States on 23 April 2021Verified Purchase
I recently fulfilled my life long dream of owning Guinea pigs. I have a 3 year old and a 1.5 year old and they love the piggies, so much they’re asking to hold them twice or more a day. In the beginning I could not get them to hold them correctly and had to take them away within a few minutes of them getting to hold their pets. I got this guinea pig book hoping that would help them with their urge to grab and it worked! We rarely have any issues holding the piggies and they ask to have this book read to them multiple times a day. It has very good vocabulary words and beautifully illustrated pictures.

A beautiful book
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 31 December 2009Verified Purchase
I bought this book for my friend's 8 year old daughter as I knew she was receiving two guinea pigs for her birthday. I had a peek myself before wrapping it and thought it had a captivating charm. It's a clever little book as it tells a story but also teaches the young reader all about guinea pigs and how to care for them. It is obvious that the author loves guinea pigs. The pictures are lovely too. I would recommend this for any young guinea pig owners (and their parents).

Very informative book -- son and I both love it!
Reviewed in the United States on 31 January 2013Verified Purchase
I bought this book for my five-year-old son for Christmas (we have a guinea pig). I was surprised by how much information was presented -- but never in a dry or dull way. My son was engaged with the book and happily read it cover to cover, with a bit of help on words like "Abyssinian."
Not only is there information in the book that would be helpful to first-time (or first time in a long time) guinea pig owners, but it is filled with neat facts and history on the animal. I learned a few things myself!
I also appreciated that the author did not shy away from mentioning that guinea pigs don't usually live as long as other pets might. He presented the information gently, and with the same conversational tone the rest of the book had...by the end, it felt like we were friends, bound by our common interest in this wonderful pet. An excellent read for kids and their parents too!
