Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
ea. vol: illus. by author. unpaged. (Guinea Pig Board Bks.). Dutton. Mar. 1986. BD $2.95. PreS Toddler spin-offs of Duke's The Guinea Pig ABC (Dutton, 1983) , these four board books feature similar guinea pig characters and the same gentle humor as in the original. Guinea pig grandmother, father, mother, and child enact a variety of familiar toddler scenes. Simple sentences and questions connect the mini-melodramas portrayed in the pen and watercolor pictures. Facial expressions and body language of the anthropomorphic rodents extend the story considerably. As in the best toddler books (by Helen Oxenbury, Rosemary Wells, and Eric Hill), there is humor here for both child and parent. Very nicely done. Linda Wicher, Lincolnwood Pub . Lib . , Ill.

This review is from: What Bounces (Guinea Pig Board Books) (Hardcover)
This wonderful children's book has gone through six kids in our family, and is still beloved by all of them. It is simple, cute and straightforward. We highly recommend the entire guinea pig series by Kate Duke.

This review is from: What Bounces? (Guinea Pig Board Books) (Board book)
We checked this book out from the library and my 2 1/2 year old son LOVES it!! He's the type of kid who likes taking everything out of the refrigerator--which is exactly what the guinea pig does. This book teaches through simple text that "a ball bounces" while "ice cream melts." My son was laughing uncontrollably during the entire story.
