Customer Reviews

Brian! Bob!

This is a great, great story!!! We received this as a gift a number of years ago and had to replace it when the book was water damaged. Brian and Bob live in Pete's Pet Palace and play I Spy everyday--who knew guinea pigs played I Spy? It is a touching story about two best friends who are separated and then reunited. Beware, when read properly this story gets very loud at the end!

Absolutely Perfect!

The book was brand new in perfect condition. Super fast mailing. This seller was excellent. I will buy again! Thank you.

Fred enjoyed it.

I read this book to my guinea pig and he loved it. He said it was obvious that Ms. Ripper had spent some quality time around guinea pigs because the illustrations were dead on. He also thought that guinea pigs' obsession with I Spy was a secret. I would recommend Brian And Bob to anyone who is looking for a good guinea pig book. I would, however, suggest waiting until your guinea pig is old enough to deal with the separation issues which are raised in the book as they could be somewhat traumatic for younger cavies (having been a food source for many years, guinea pigs do not normally have a well developed sense of "The Happy Ending").

Great liitle book for kids, and their GP's

A wonderful book about two friends no matter what age you are.

absolutely wonderful

This book is fantastic. Brian and Bob are two guinea pigs living in a pet store who are very attatched to one another. One day someone comes to buy a guinea pig, and the two are separated. Best part of the book? The full spread illustration of their reunion. "BRIAN AND BOB!" So cute. this should be a classic children's book, because it's so hard not to love it.
