From School Library Journal

Grade 2-4-An accessible story for beginning chapter-book readers. In this third story about the resourceful guinea pig who lives in Central Park, PeeWee wants a family, and he courts Plush, who has been brought to the park by his human friend to keep him company. He wins her love and trust with his ability to read, and he takes her to the operas in the park. The two guinea pigs are helped by Lexi, PeeWee's squirrel friend and sidekick, from Lexi's Tale (SeaStar, 2001), who has the sometimes annoying habit of reciting proverbs. Meanwhile, they must plan for winter in order to survive. Plush and PeeWee become the responsible parents of Pudge, Perky, Pip, and Squeak. Brewster's comical pencil drawings accompany the charming text. Clever characters and steady adventures will keep children reading to the happy ending.

This review is from: PeeWee & Plush (Paperback)

It all started from a book my wife bought at a garage sale Lexi's Tale, which is a story about a Squirrel that lives in Central Park in New York City, Lexi the Squirrel (short for Lexington) befriends a Guinea Pig named Pee Wee who is not native to Central Park. This particular book is a continuation of Lexi's tale and is revolved around Pee Wee and his new Mate Plush, this is a wonderful heartfelt story and the author paints a vivid wonderful picture in your mind that you can almost imagine you are living the moments in Central Park as Pee Wee.
The cutest part about this review and book is that it started out as reading the stories to my 5 year old son, but one night my wife joined us for the read and Lily (My Wife) became fully engaged with the story also. It has now become a bed time ritual with my beautiful wife of 19 years, with her curled up in my arms while I read either Lexi's Tale, Pee Wee & Plush or Squirrel World to her and rock her to sleep, (she actually said to me that my voice and reading to her soothes her soul) as it does mine reading to my Angel. Johanna Hurwitz thank you so much for writing these wonderful imaginative stories and hope that one day you will revise the Park Pal Adventure Series.
