Editorial Reviews

Product Description

He's just a regular guinea pig with a fondness for Fruity-Nut Buffet—and dreams of the big time.

Now he's leaving the only home he's ever known and heading for the coast. Stardom awaits him—but is it all he hoped it would be?

Denise Brunkus and Deborah Blumenthal are proud to present a new star who's ready for his close-up. Charlie's debut is what Hollywood hits are made of—humor, adventure, and a good dose of love.

She has been a regular contributor to The New York Times and has written widely for many other national newspapers and magazines. Charlie, the world's greatest guinea pig, lived with Deborah and her family for more than two years. They traveled to many great American cities together—never without fresh vegetables!

5.0 out of 5 stars Hollywood Will Never Be The Same, March 11, 2008
Charlie is an over-the-top character, full of fun and frolic. The story, based loosely on the author's experiences with her family's pet guinea pig, is imaginative and engaging. Children will love hearing about the adventures and misadventures of this wannabe-star. And adults will find plenty to keep them entertained as well. An added bonus are the pictures. Charming.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cool Guinea Pig Book, February 7, 2009
By Colleen A. Kaufman (Boulder, Colorado) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Our whole family loves Guinea Pigs and this book is one of the most often read of our (at least) one hundred book library. It is great when a book is as fun for the reader as it is for the listener.
