(3) K-3 Translated by J. Alison James. Illustrated by Christa Unzner. Nell loves her pet guinea pig--they are best friends--until her classmates make fun of her "pet for babies." Her poorly reasoned plan to rid herself of Fluffy, the ensuing heartbreak, and a happy ending tempered by realism are all involving. The strong story features engaging characters and an important theme about responsibility. The illustrations deftly convey emotion.
