Bookroo's summary
John Willy and Freddy McGee, two adventurous guinea pigs, escape their mundane cage life for an exciting journey. But when mysterious sounds echo through the pool table tunnels, will they return to safety or seek more thrills? Discover their daring escapades and the unexpected twists that await in this charming tale.
From the publisher
A life of nibbling grains and burrowing in straw is perfect for ordinary guinea pigs. Then again, it’s perfectly boring for guinea pigs as extraordinary as John Willy and Freddy McGee! So, of course, when their cage door is left open, these two daring friends take the chance to escape. Out into the world they go, afraid of nothing. That is, until they suddenly hear–while inside the tunnels of a pool table: TAP! wumba BONK! tap-tap wumba BONK! Off they go again–this time back to their cage, but not for long! The wonderful cut paper pictures of Caldecott Honor artist Holly Meade take young children on an adventure they will thoroughly enjoy.
