A guinea pig-sized leap into the wider world

Pog and Pickle begin in the familiar confines of their hutch, but their different responses to adventure send them on a journey that spans buses, planes, trucks, and a trip to Peru. Pog’s eagerness to explore and Pickle’s worries about danger give the story a clear contrast, while their pursuit brings encounters with new friends and a playful capybara. The premise turns on the tension between staying safe and venturing into the unknown, making travel and companionship part of a tale about facing fear. Rhythmic text and comical illustrations shape the book’s presentation for young readers.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 who enjoy animal characters and comic adventures

Book overview

When a guinea pig sets off on a grand adventure to see the world, her fearful mate stows away in madcap pursuit in this hilarious, heartwarming tale from the team behind Ant Party and Penguin Huddle.

Guinea pigs Pog and Pickle have spent their entire lives together in the same hutch. Pog is eager to get out and explore the world, but Pickle is scared. What if they get injured or lost out there? But Pog will not be dissuaded, and when the humans pack up for a trip to Peru, she takes her chance to sneak into their luggage and fly away. What can a lovelorn Pickle do but hop buses and planes and trucks to go after her? With a rhythmic, bouncy text and comical illustrations, Ross Montgomery and Sarah Warburton lead a wild journey that shows what wonders--including new friends and a playful capybara--may be found on the other side of fear.
