Philomena the guinea pig needs new glasses to help her see better. When Philomena's sisters get glasses too, just to be like her, she gets annoyed. When Philomena decides she wants a new handbag and dress, she is even more upset to discover that both of her sisters got them too.
This is a darling book about the importance of just being yourself and not trying to be like someone else. These three sisters finally figure out that trying to be something you're not can make you miserable, and that you are happiest just being you.
