Reviews

 * **Mrs. Kenyon's class:** We liked how the guinea pig was able to trick a fox. We liked the author's use of Spanish words. There was a lot of action and many describing words. It had a good plot.
 * **Mrs. Tunnell's class:** The guinea pig was clever; we liked his creativity. We liked the part where he got stuck to the gooey guy. We thought the illustrations were well done. A few of us thought that the part where the guinea p ig dressed up was just silly.
 * **Mrs. Reid's class:** We liked that the characters used Spanish words. We thought that the characters were funny, especially because it was a trickster tale. The mood was tricky and sneaky and the illustrations were mostly realistic. We thought it was strange that the fox and the girl were going to get married. We didn't like when Cuy got tied up.
 * **Mrs. Crymes class:** We liked the guinea pig, the tricks, and the humor of this story. We liked the animal characters and the use of two languages. We liked the farmer laughing and the illustrations. We didn't like the idea that anyone would eat guinea pigs!
 * **Mrs. Ranaletta's class:** Cuy was very tricky! We liked that he was a guinea pig. The fox made a fool of himself. The illustrations are beautiful.
