"A gentle story, told in short chapters with very sweet colour illustrations, this will strongly appeal to new readers, particularly animal lovers. There’s a subtle theme of doing the right thing, too, which adds depth. The text is designed with lots of space around it, to support beginner and dyslexic readers. This is another lovely addition to the Little Gems series, which is a good introduction to chapter books." — BookTrust, Book of the Day"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.
