Synopsis
Why does my guinea pig sniff the air?
Children's Literature
Guinea pigs are pets that often mystify first-time owners. This informative book takes all the mystery out of raising and caring for pet guinea pigs. Each section is devoted to a different aspect of a pet guinea pig's life, including how they communicate, what they eat, where they live, and more. The information here focuses on making a guinea pig into an affectionate pet. Part of the "Getting to Know Your Pet" series, this book contains a glossary, an index, and a list of websites for further information about guinea pigs. This book is written for the child pet-caregiver, and illustrations enhance and reinforce the information on every page. Also includes a section for parents about how to help their children care for the new family pet, including tips about what pet-care jobs are appropriate for children, how small children interact best with guinea pigs, and how to make sure the family guinea pig stays safe and healthy. This book is a must-read for all first-time guinea pig owners. Reviewer: Jamie Hain
