Three little guinea pigs, Rosie, Minty, and Pumpkin are old enough to set off on their own and make their own home. Rosie makes hers out of hay, Minty makes hers out of a box, and Pumpkin makes hers out of a wooden stump. Then they blow up balloons and have a party. Soon a hungry fox comes to visit. Will their houses be strong enough to keep the fox out? 

The Three Little Guinea Pigs is a fun retelling of the original story. It is quite entertaining to see how the cute guinea pigs outsmart the fox. I also like the interesting guinea pig fact pages at the end.
