Other reviews have said these books are rather treacly in flavor, but not so to children. In its own pleasing simple and kind words, these books tell the story of Little Whistle, a little guinea pig, who is the only live animal in a toy store. But magical things happen at night and the toys come to life and along with Little Whistle they play and listen to their good friend, Soldier's nightly stories.

In this third book, though, Little Whistle has to don his medical gear because Soldier cannot tell the bedtime story as he is ill with a headache.

Little Whistle comes to the rescue! After hopping into a toy train, he finds a toy first-aid kit and helps his friend with bandages and toy medicine. Little Whistle has cured his friend and Soldier is now able to tell his night stories to all the toys--and to Little Whistle.

Wonderful drawings and a wonderful book for children.

I love the Little Whistle Books but I have always wondered why he is nocturnal. Our guinea pigs are not nocturnal. Anyway, the illustrations are cute and funny and the storyline is interesting.

Little Whistle is a guinea pig who lives in a toy store. When the toy store closes for the night he is off for adventure. When Little Whistle goes out this night he finds that his friend toy soldier is sick with a really bad headache. He must find a way to make him well again. He goes and finds a first aid kit and makes him well again. Toy Soldier is better in no time and able to read stories to the babies! Little Whistle saved the day!

Little Whistle is a very cute character. There are other books to look for in the series as well: Little Whistle, Little Whistle's Christmas , and Little Whistle's Dinner Party.

I would recommend this story to others. It's full of wonder and imagination. Lots of kids have guinea pigs for pets and enjoy stories about them.
