(4) K-3 Illustrated by Denise Brunkus. Pet guinea pig Charlie abandons his owners and heads to Hollywood, where he lands a big part in a movie. Ultimately, he feels like a pig out of water and returns home. There's abundant humor in the illustrations of humans unblinkingly accepting a talking, auditioning guinea pig, whose slick speech ("No problema") has, perhaps inevitably, a scripted feel.
