Customer Reviews

An excellent introduction to the care of guinea pigs!

I bought this book for my daughter just before we got her first pets, two guinea pigs! The pictures are lovely and the book covers guinea pig likes and dislikes, as well as their basic needs from vitamin c to clean water. The best part though is the author's continued assertation that guinea pigs love to be cuddled!

Absolutely charming!!

If you don't have a guinea pig, this book will make you want to get one

Exquisite!!!

I think adults can enjoy the book as well. Smith is charming, witty and very knowledgeable about the species.

The most wonderful book on Guinea Pigs I've ever encountered

I do research on every animal I own and this was one of the most informative books I have ever found. The animation is extrordinary and it has made my daughter aware that books can help us all in raising our animals properly. I don't know how many times we have referred to it for one question or another about our guinea pigs. We also love to just go back and look at the pictures because they make us smile. A wonderful childrens book, and if I do say so myself, it is great for adults too. I am so very glad we found this book and bought it. I would highly recommend it to anyone getting or already having a guinea pig. Jackie and Kathy Fisher

Outstanding book on Guinea Pigs for children of all ages.

This is a must read for all kids who love Guinea Pigs: the perfect first pet. I've loved and raised the little rascals for thirty years and still can't get enough of them. Buy it for your favorite kids, or for yourself even. The illustrations are wonderful.
