I thought it was funny when Fluffy pretended to be the ground hog. Easy to read. I like the worm on the cover. I think its a good book.

Again, Fluffy the classroom guinea pig gets into a spot of trouble when he comes face to face with a groundhog! Of course, all ends well, but the story is quite humorous and kids love to read this story, as well as the rest of the series. Fluffy and the other classroom guinea pigs are outside when Fluffy goes down the groundhog's hole.
The reader can share Fluffy's thoughts since he cannot talk, which usually leads to laughter. Fluffy is quite a character!
The series is gentle, non-threatening read in which the classroom guinea pig gets himself into all kinds of situations which always turn out fine. The situations can often serve as a springboard to discuss topics with your child or student (in this book, for example, you could use it to talk about stereotypes, mediation or so forth) as well as Groundhog Day. My students love Fluffy and often do not want to stop reading--they want to know what happens next. These books are level 3 readers, grades 3-4 really like them. They are easy to read, 3-4 chapters and 40-50 pages with larger print than most books. I highly recommend them to all kids, especially those who need encouragement to read. Funny, clever, good illustrations and enough silliness to keep it from being too sweet!
Get this book and read!

This is the summer before second grade for my son and Fluffy books are perfect to keep him reading throughout the summer. Fluffy is a guinea pig who lives in a classroom. He is very funny and witty. Fluffy will keep your child laughing and interested.
