From School Library Journal:
Grade 2-5–Brooks and his pals, Leone and Allen, are guinea pigs who live in a comfortable pet shop. Only Brooks wants to leave, as he dreams that freedom will be acres of carrots and mountains of cabbage. However, the trio is soon purchased by an absentminded human named Needleman who only buys them because he is googly-eyed for the shop owner. Due to a misunderstanding, he sets them free in a nearby park, where they have a series of humorous run-ins with squirrels, rats, and pigeons. Brooks soon learns that life as a pampered pet isn't so horrible and the guinea pigs try to find their way back to the shop. Fortunately, Needleman figures out his mistake and eventually tracks down the animals, but promptly forgets them again, this time on the subway on the way home, leaving a cliff-hanger ending ready for a sequel. Filled with goofy black-and-white cartoons that teeter on the abstract, this beginning chapter book is just right for children who can't get enough of Captain Underpants, Johnny Mutton, or other comic adventurers.–Karen T. Bilton, Somerset County Library, Bridgewater, NJ
