Reviews

The central character is a plump, spunky guinea pig. Her self-assurance and cheerful attitude are winning, and the watercolor-and-pencil illustrations play a large role in keeping the message light...The book could serve as a healthy reminder of the importance of treating oneself and others with respect.--School Library Journal
