Georgia The Guinea Pig Fairy / Rainbow Magic Collection
My daughter is 9 years old and has went nuts over these rainbow magic books. She started reading them about 2years ago and she never seems to be able to put the book down and is waiting impatiently for the next series to come out for purchase....I totally recommend this series for any girl ages 5 through 10...... Good investment!!!! Chris Ryan

Three Guineas (Annotated)

Virginia Woolf

Harvest Books, 2006

Women against war
I gave this book 5 stars, not because I really liked it, but because it's interesting. Three Guineas is VW second book that is an argument and not fiction (the first is a room of one's own). It's about how women can help prevent war, and it says a lot of stuff, one of the things being to link male vanity to aggression. It's controversial, and a lot less pleasant than a room of one's own. ...

Barron''s Educational Series, 2003

Excellent and Reliable Source of Information
I am very impressed with "The Guinea Pig Handbook". It is actually very well written, and the information is reliable and presented clearly. Unlike a regular text book, or the other manuals that I got from the library, this book gives a historical background on guinea pigs, as well as a reliable source of information for any of the questions or problems I ran into while caring for Bert (my guinea ...

Good Reference Book
Every responsible guinea pig owner should keep all the information they can possibly find close at hand. This book is certainly an excellent addition to my home library as I found it easy to use and understand.

Guinea Pig B: The 56 Year Experiment

R. Buckminster Fuller

Critical Path Publishing, 2004

Absolutely timeless, wonderful!!
This book is the one to read if you seriously need an information-overload on positivity, and doing what needs to be done on this Spaceship Earth. Everyone is crew, no-one is passenger. The information contained within this _very_ short book, bears reading every year, every month. Buckminster Fuller should be so much more appreciated than what he was while he lived, but more so, what is the ...

I Love Guinea Pigs: Read and Wonder

Good book if you have a guinea pig
I'm not sure if you don't have a guinea pig or your child doesn't have one at school but my son was very excited because it talks about types of guinea pigs and we enjoy it as we can compare it to ours behavior. The author clearly likes and has owned many and it gives advice about care without it just being a manual.

My Guinea Pig and Me (For the Love of Animals Series)

Immanuel Birmelin

Barron's Educational Series, 2001

Wonderful book with excellent information!
After reading so many guinea pig care books with often inaccurate to down-right dangerous information, this book was a delightful surprise!! Wonderful and truthful information about environment and care! I would have given it 5-stars but had to take one off for emphasizing the need for guinea pig companionship with their own kind and then *not* adequately dealing with prevention of the ...

Guinea Pig Zero: An Anthology of the Journal for Human Research Subjects

Robert Helms

Garrett County Press, 2002

eye-opening for researchers
I work in the research field with human participants (we don't say "test subjects" in my workplace), so I come at this issue from the opposite side from the author. Because of that, I wasn't sure what to expect to feel while reading this book. I felt that it was very well done, very interesting and helped me see why certain things have to be done certain ways in research. It also made me glad ...

Guinea Pigs (APL Pet Care Library)
I borrowed this book from the library after adopting a Cavy (Guinea Pig.) I liked it so much, I decided to buy one. It is very informative and detailed. For instance; Guinea Pigs are not Pigs, nor are they of the Swine Family. They are Cavies. (Cave - ees.) This book only rated four stars because it lacked One item I considered Vital Info.: How to identify the Gender of your Cavy. All books I ...

A Guinea Pig's History of Biology

Jim Endersby

Harvard University Press, 2007

Fascinating History, Marvelously Told
This is a wonderful book. The author writes with the flair of a good novelist, weaving all kinds of fascinating details into highly entertaining, lucidly told stories centered around some of the creatures that have served as subjects of biological research. The subject matter is certainly interesting, but the author's talent as a writer makes the book a pleasure to read. Who would think that a ...

Another winner!!!!!!!!!
My 8 year old daughter devours the Judy Moody and Stink books. Megan MacDonald cannot write them fast enough. These are excellent readers for those who are reading independently but may be hindered by smaller typeface. The books read quickly ( good for kids bad for moms who have to wait for the next book to come out). My daughter also thinks the books are hysterical. I always catch her laughing ...

Papua New Guinea (Lonely Planet Travel Guides)

Lonely Planet Publications, 1998

LP guidebooks are usually great, and this is even better !
Having been a collector, affectionate reader, and on-the-field user of Lonely Planet guidebooks during my numberless and continuous travels, I can indeed witness that this one is one of the best. Some guidebooks try to cover too much, e.g. all of West Africa or all of Central Asia, and don't do the job so well (inevitable and still better than carrying one book for each country, but to the ...

Proper Care of Guinea Pigs (Proper Care of...Series)

Peter Gurney

TFH Publications, 1999

The best guinea pig book!
This is one of the best guinea pig books out there. There is a lot of information and many pictures to go with it. Being the owner of six guinea pigs, I do like to read a lot about them. I was trying to find a book that contained more than just words and cute pictures. (Although this book is packed with great pictures!) I had a skin condition on a newly acquired pig, and I really needed a picture ...

Papua New Guinea & Solomon Islands (Country Guide)

Lonely Planet, 2008

Review
I bought this book hoping it would be helpful for the Solomon Islands. There was only about 30 pages about the Solomons. This book is a great guide for Papua New Guinea. I would suggest looking for older guides. I bought an older guide from lonely planet that was strictly about the Solomon Islands. It was much better, only the finacial info was definitely out of date.
