Illustrated by
Nina Spranger.
A guinea pig boasts that the star of Super Guinea Pig to the Rescue is his best friend. When housemates dog, canary, and goldfish scoff, the miffed guinea pig appears in superhero costume to impersonate the star and impress his pals. The earnest, imaginative braggart and his underwhelmed friends are shown in amusing watercolor and acrylic illustrations.
