Customer Reviews

Great book

I purchased this book as a birthday present for a little girl who's first pet was a guinea pig. What a cute adventure story about 2 guinea pig friends! She loved this book. Great for any age pre-reader and up. Because it's a board book it's very sturdy. Older kids can read it on their own and younger kids love having it read to them. Good purchase.

mom of three boys

We rented this book from the library then decided to purchase it. We actually happen to find a playmobil toy with guinea pigs that bear a striking resemblance to John Willy and Freddy McGee. This is a darling book, the boys love the 'escape' and racing aspect to the story. Great for families who root for the guinea pigs (or hamsters, rabbits, etc) who sit in cages. Fun!

Adorable story even if you don't have a guinea pig!

I enjoy sharing this book with my preschool class. It never fails to invite speculation and the creation of our own stories on the adventures of our own pet guinea pigs.

A fun book to read over and over!

Everyone in our family LOVED reading about the adventures of John Willie and Freddy McGee. From the start, these two curious guinea pigs with interesting names kept all of us laughing and looking forward to the next page. The colorful pictures along with lively descriptions kept us interested in their adventures from beginning to end. Although our Kindergartener brought this book home from the school library, our 2nd grader and our 6th grader read it often and loved it too. It has truly become one of my own personal favorites. This is a book any parent wouldn't mind reading over and over again.

Delightful to read and see!

John Willy and Freddy McGee have a wonderful time, and so will anyone else who reads this delightful book. This book is perfect for reading aloud. The story flows so well you might miss the beautiful illustrations-so take your time and read it over and over! This is a definite "must have" for any child's library. Thanks Holly.
