Leaving his home in Bolivia where GuineaPigs can be dinner, Valentino seeks a home where he will be loved. Everyone thinks he is a rat, however, until a little girl recognizes what he is. Written in rhyme this is pretty cutsey. Collages of a real life guinea pig doing lots of silly things are pretty good. I'm not sure how I would use this with curriculum. Let's see if anything comes to me. Released in April '12
