Guinea pig Titch thinks he and his new owner, "Big Person" Bruno, are friends, but when the young boy starts acting strangely, Titch fears Bruno doesn't want him anymore. In fact, Bruno has been busy creating a stupendous "guinea-pig palace" for his pet. Detailed pen and watercolor illustrations hint at what will happen next in this entertaining story, comically told from Titch's perspective.
