Wholesome if at times a little too quaint.

I love that Peter Gurney was included and clearly modelled Mr Gee. I wish Olga had a guinea pig friend.

Each chapter is a separate story about the ever-hungry guinea pig, Olga da Polga. GP facts are woven into these very entertaining stories, written in an easygoing style reminiscent of the Pippi Longstocking books. A fun read for the animal-crazy newly independent readers in your family. Gorgeous illustrations too.
