Ms. B and her students try to understand what is bothering Sammy, the classroom guinea pig.

a book about coming back to school after a long weekend to find the class pet distressed. The students and teachers work together to figure out what has made the guinea pig so distressed and figure out how to help it.

I ound myself learning about guinea pigs throughout this story. It was very good. Having been in classes growing up that had guinea pigs this was easily relatable for me. I liked the guinea pig facts included at the end. ( )

Sammy is a guinea pig that is kept in a classroom. One day, Sammy wheeked very loudly to get everyone's attention. Ms. B and her students try to figure out what's wrong with Sammy. He made happy chirps when everyone was around him. They realized that he was just happy to see everyone! In the back of the book there is a page with facts about guinea pigs. Being a guinea pig owner myself, I really enjoyed this book, but I am sure that all children ages 5 and up will love it as well. Guinea pigs are fun pets, and this book helps to point out that fact!

Good to start of one of your animal units. There is information about guinea pigs in back. There are a lot of pictures. I really enjoyed it .
