Illustrated by
Stacey Schuett.
These free-verse poems tell the story of a boy's slow winning-over of his frightened guinea pig. The text is brief and direct, conveying Katz's keen observations with well-chosen words. Using an acrylic palette of browns, blues, and greens and incorporating intense shades and white to highlight textures, Schuett captures all the guinea pig's moods and appeal.
