    About this audiobook

    Rufus has been dreaming of getting a dog. His best friend has one. His worst friend has one. But his dad has a few objections: They whine. They gnaw. They bark. They scratch. They beg. They drool.

    Rufus pays no attention when his mom offers her think-outside-the-box suggestion, because she can't be serious. She can't be. She can be.

    And she actually comes home with a guinea pig. And if Rufus's dad thinks dogs are a problem, he won't know what hit him when he meets the Guinea Pig that thinks she's a dog. She barks. She bites. She'll eat your homework.

    A Lerner audio production.

    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.

      So cute! And very well written. I enjoyed this immensely.
    • 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.

      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.

      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.

      Liked the book. Would recommend this book to 3rd grade boys who like funny books.
    • 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.

      It is a wonderful book. It is hilarious. Love it.
