    About this audiobook

    Listeners who loved Guinea Dog have been sitting, begging, and rolling over for a sequel. The beloved Patrick Jennings returns with the follow up to his award-winning and state list hogging title!

    When his classmates learn about Fido, the guinea pig that acts like a dog, they all want a piece of Rufus, her owner. But Rufus hates the attention, the demands, the "celebrity." So he decides to make Fido learn how to be an actual guinea pig. But when she goes missing, he feels terrible. Was she lost, "dognapped," or did she run away, because he no longer liked her just the way she was?

    Offering the same offbeat humor and pacing of the first Guinea Dog, this novel will prove to be a listener's best friend.

    Patrick Jennings

    Patrick Jennings grew up in a small town in Indiana, where there were no wild, lethally venomous snakes. His family then moved to rural Arizona, where lived many, including seventeen varieties of rattlesnake. Patrick got seriously freaked out. He now lives on the Olympic Peninsula, where there are scarcely any wild, lethally venomous snakes. We Can't All Be Rattlesnakes is his fourteenth book for young readers.

      An amusing chapter book with a fantastical element: a guinea pig that can do tricks and act as well as any dog. All Rufus wants is a dog but his father is dead set against it. His mother's solution is to buy him a guinea pig which is no solution at all. Rufus stubbornly names it Fido and hopes they'll get to return it to the pet store, but he later realizes the pig is pretty good at following commands and doing tricks, so much so, that Rufus becomes the envy of his classmates.
    • 4/5
      My 9-yr-old daughter recommended this5th-grader Rufus wants a dog, but his anal dad can't stand the idea. So, Mom gets him a guinea pig. Rufus is so disappointed, it takes him a long time to realize this isn't a normal guinea pig. It understands "sit" and "quiet" and "go get help" and even how to eject CD's...It's cuteSome extra bits:1. The best character isn't Rufus, but his friend Murphie who comes late to school, is nearly failing 5th grade, and who everyone likes (including me). Not sure what that says.2. Slight annoyance with yet another juvenile story where the main character supposedly loves books, but never takes a second to read them (or, in this case, say anything about them).
    • 4/5
      A quick fun read that's not too challenging for third grade readers. And best of all, its by a Washington state author. One of the things I found appealing about this book was the idea....what if a guinea pig acted like a dog. I had a cat who would fetch and go for walks with me, very uncatlike behaviors. So maybe it really could happen.
    • 4/5
      This is hilarious. 'Fido' doesn't behave like any guinea pig I ever saw, but the book is lots of fun.
    • 4/5
      So cute! And very well written. I enjoyed this immensely.
    • 3/5
      Liked the book. Would recommend this book to 3rd grade boys who like funny books.
    • 5/5
      This was a great book for children in grades 3-5. Even though the main character was a boy, I feel that girls will like this also as there are minor female characters in the book too. It was quite funny and I thought the characters were realistic and believable. The plot moved at a good pace and you wanted to know how the story ended.
    • 4/5
      Elly says, "Fun to read, aimed at 8 - 10 year-olds, Rufus, 5th grade, wants a dog, obsessively neat-nik anti-germ dad refuses, mom brings him a guinea pig that actually acts like a dog. Many misadventures at home and school when Roo tries to hide the fact that he has a guinea pig named Fido and not a dog. Father and mother are cartoony, Roo and his friend are more realistic. Rivalry between Roo and another boy is believeable. Finally acceptance comes more from others saying Fido is cool rather than Roo deciding he doesn't really care what others think, he likes the guinea pig just fine. Still a nice story for younger readers.
