APPEALS TO: SEVERAL

WHen the family plans a trip to Peru, Pog, one of their guinea pigs, decides to tag along so that she can visit the land of her ancestors.  When Pickle, Pog’s mate, finds her gone, he heads off in pursuit, for a bigger adventure than he could have imagined.

Definitely silly, sharp-eyed kids may have questions about all of the coincidences.  Or they can lean into it and enjoy the silliness.  There is a lot to look at on each page, too.
