“With short chapters and adorable pictures, this story told by Peggy the guinea pig would be great for beginner and reluctant readers. Peggy is no ordinary pet. She can listen and be a best friend, tell the time of day, play hide and seek, walk on a leash, and even climb stairs. A cute and fun book for animal lovers.”
