I Love Guinea-Pigs by Dick King-Smith

Explore the wonderful world of guinea-pigs through information, music and story! Dick King-Smith loves guinea-pigs - the way they look, their cuddliness, the noises they make ... he's kept hundreds, so he knows all about them and how best to care for them. And so will you, when you've read this book! In the accompanying CD (approx. 19 minutes), actor Stephen Tompkinson explores the wonderful world of guinea-pigs through information, music and story.

Through the chatty, personal text and Jeram's ink and watercolor pictures we learn a little guinea pig history, anatomy, care and feeding . . . Large type, lots of white space, and drawings intertwined with text make this a good choice for beginning readers as well as for reading aloud."- * Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books, recommended review, The *
All will enjoy this observant and inviting introduction. * Horn Book, The *
