When Beatrix brings home her neighbor's pet guinea pig so that she can practice painting it, well . . . it dies! Now what? Written in the form of a "picture letter," this charming, hilarious, and mostly true tale is a wonderful introduction to a beloved author/illustrator and perfect for Common Core curriculums.An author's note includes photographs and more information about Beatrix Potter's life and work."A charming, delightful homage." --Kirkus Reviews, StarredFrom the Hardcover edition.
