John Willy and Freddie McGee

Temporarily escaping their humdrum life, two guinea pigs scurry through an open cage door, scramble through comfortably furnished rooms, climb atop a pool table, and find their bliss racing round and round its tunnels.

Rating: *****

A cute book especially if you have guinea pigs. It’s one of those stories that shows kids lots can happen when they’re not around.

julius

Julius

When Maya’s grandfather comes for a visit, he brings a surprise in a crate–something, he says, to teach her “fun and sharing”. Maya hopes it’s a horse or a big brother. But instead it’s Julius, a big, cool pig. Maya’s parents see Julius as a slob, but Maya herself sees another Julius altogether. She sees a playmate, a protector, and sharer in all that’s magical and wild.

Rating: *****

A nice book that focuses on love and responsibility.
