All hail the adorable guinea pig!, August 4, 2002
This review is from: Guinea Pigs Far and Near (Hardcover)
Kate Duke's charming book "Guinea Pigs Near and Far" puts welcome emphasis on the adorability of guinea pigs! So often in children's books we see mice, hamsters, squirrels, bunnies and all other manner of sweet little fuzzy animals, but the guinea pig has been sorely and notably neglected.
Duke rights that wrong with "Guinea Pigs Near and Far." Simplistic in the extreme--just simple comparisons of words like "near" and "far" and so on--the text isn't the main attraction here. The drawing power of this book is the guinea pigs, of course. They are shown hiking, biking, riding trains, flying kites, sailing boats, and generally being completely and utterly entrancing.
