Philomena's New Glasses

(3) K-3 Photographs by Chuck Kennedy. When guinea pig Philomena gets a pair of glasses, her sisters Audrey and Nora Jean also get pairs (despite not needing them). The same goes for handbags and frilly dresses until the siblings eventually come to the conclusion that "not everyone needs the same things." Readers will genuinely chuckle at the droll text and the accompanying up-close photographs of bespectacled guinea pigs wearing tutus.
