Reviews

"Sure to prompt rich discussion about empathy and values … With details about what guinea-pigs need from their owners and a focus on being gentle and kind, readers will gain understanding of the responsibility of pet ownership." -- Scope for Imagination, blog

"With joyful, bright illustrations sprinkled liberally throughout the pages, this is the perfect book for any children transitioning from picture books, or those who have to work harder with their reading. It's perfect for animal lovers … the guinea pigs were at the heart of the blossoming friendship between the two young girls and the sweet (yet important) message about doing the right thing. A gorgeous guinea pig caper." -- Mini Travellers, blog
