[Gpdd] ANNOUNCMENT" Marion Writes a Guinea Pig Book

[Algernon07 at aol.com]

 Hi Every Pig and Every Person. 
     I ordered Marion Robison's (better known here as Bellarobi) Guinea Pig 
book, "Poly Pig and Sweetie Find a Home." I had just received it and was 
reading it just prior to last week's power outage and so it was that I got so caught 
up in it that I actually finished reading the last few pages with a 
flashlight late that night. (And I'm not one to waste flashlight batteries when the 
power is out.) 
     I was amazed by the originality of the artwork, It's adorable! My power 
went off just as the girls had left the piggies alone outside! (But I don't 
want to give away any of the plot) so I HAD to read on though I'll admit to 
calling the power company before finishing it.
     The structure and content are both terrific though my piggies must be 
real gluttons compared to Poly Pig and Sweetie. But they have to get that 
vitamin C! And plenty of it!
     The do's and don'ts at the back of the book are outstanding and make it 
even more of an informative book while imparting a highly interesting story 
line. The large cage, all those little details that are so important are part of 
the story, starting with the trip to the pet shop and the purchases there.
     Oh -- And we know those little colorful "fences" we all know so well. 
Such details contribute as well as the actual photographs of Poly and Sweetie 
inside the back cover page.
     The book itself, like the cover, is illustrated with cut out felt. I 
fell in love with the cover!
     I will truly treasure my copy, share it and recommend it, which is 
exactly what I'm doing here! 
     I am just really taken with the story itself AND the unique art work. My 
first thought was, "Wow, How cool." I would have never thought of that of 
felt. It makes me feel homey and cozy inside.
     My highest compliment -- looking at the cover makes me smile. Even yet.
     So do go to Marion's Website:   http://bellarobi.com/

     I feel really lucky, I have 2 GP friends who are published authors, Leah 
and Marion, plus Jude who beautifully illustrated Leah book on the Adventures 
of Brownie Bear and Butterscotch and is now offering her own line of greeting 
cards all of which can be seen at Cavy Madness.com.
     What a creative group we have here, including Allyssa's Movie Star 
Guinea Pigs featured in "Carrot Wars", Commissioned by HBO. That is still available 
in VCR nd DVD I believe.       Link:

     And let's not forget Jenni, who helped Beethoven Pig a lot in the ever 
famous "Beethoven Pig's Rumblestrut Blues."
     There's a great deal of other talent here as well, but it's late. Still, 
we all know who you are.

Alge and Captain Jack
