My phobia of bugs has always been with me and I still get shivers thinking about them crawling on me or buzzing near my ears.
I love learning about nature and science and I have passed this love onto my 10 year old also.
He loves to learn and I hoped this book would be a fun summer reading addition. It turned out it was the best book for both of us!!
Loaded with information and pictures, this was a great tool to help us identify many creepy things. He gained solid basic biology knowledge and show more I gained less fear.
Win-Win for all!! show less

GUINEA PIGS!! WEARING GLASSES!!
Ahem. I admit it, I am as vulnerable to cute as the next person, especially if guinea pigs are involved.
This is a story of three sisters. Philomena, Audrey, and Nora Jane are very similar and yet a little different. But, as sisters, they like to do everything together. So when Philomena gets some snazzy purple glasses, Audrey and Nora Jane get glasses too.
Then Philomena gets a handbag for her glasses. Audrey thinks that would be useful - a place to keep snacks! show more Nora Jane is a little worried about all the things she's having to haul around though.
Finally, the sisters have a discussion and realize they don't always have to be exactly the same - they only need the things they're really using. Maybe...
The real draw of this is guinea pigs. In glasses. With handbags of snacks! Adorable. It would go well with a storytime on clothes or on things not having to be "fair" all the time.
Verdict: Fans of Nancy Rose's squirrel photography and guinea pig lovers will delight in this silly story. Guinea pigs!
