Description
When a guinea pig sets off on a grand adventure to see the world, her fearful mate stows away in madcap pursuit in this hilarious, heartwarming tale from the team behind Ant Party and Penguin Huddle. Guinea pigs Pog and Pickle have spent their entire lives together in the same hutch. Pog is eager to get out and explore the world, but Pickle is scared. What if they get injured or lost out there? But Pog will not be dissuaded, and when the humans pack up for a trip to Peru, she takes her chance to sneak into their luggage and fly away. What can a lovelorn Pickle do but hop buses and planes and trucks to go after her? With a rhythmic, bouncy text and comical illustrations, Ross Montgomery and Sarah Warburton lead a wild journey that shows what wonders--including new friends and a playful capybara--may be found on the other side of fear.

Critical Reviews
Critical Reviews
Montgomery's salute to the adventuresome spirit is told with near-faultless, frequently Seussian rhymes. The story's straight-up, no-snark emotional sincerity gives it a throwback quality, as does Warburton's digital art, which has a watercolory brightness and a lovingly rendered look as it captures the inventive means by which Pickle and Pog get by in a world not scaled to their dimensions. An endearing, old-fashioned rhyming tale, sure to have readers clamoring for another installment.
