From School Library Journal:

ea. vol: illus. by author. unpaged. (Guinea Pig Board Bks.). Dutton. Mar. 1986. BD $2.95. PreS Toddler spin-offs of Duke's The Guinea Pig ABC (Dutton, 1983) , these four board books feature similar guinea pig characters and the same gentle humor as in the original. Guinea pig grandmother, father, mother, and child enact a variety of familiar toddler scenes. Simple sentences and questions connect the mini-melodramas portrayed in the pen and watercolor pictures. Facial expressions and body language of the anthropomorphic rodents extend the story considerably. As in the best toddler books (by Helen Oxenbury, Rosemary Wells, and Eric Hill), there is humor here for both child and parent. Very nicely done. Linda Wicher, Lincolnwood Pub . Lib . , Ill.
