| In this engaging cautionary tale about a pair of guinea pigs who escape from their cage and get into a little bit of mischief , the playful background music andbouncy narration enlivens author HollyMeade's iconographicallyanimated, colorful cut-paper collages.Through changes in the tempo of her voice,narrator Debra Leigh relates the idleness of life in a cage and the excitement of a day filled with adventures (and danger). While gaining deeper empathy for their pets, children will cheer the brave little rodents on throughout their escape. School Library Journal, June, 2005 |
