Piggy Handsome is a very confident guinea pig with a hugely inflated ego – he hails from a long line of very famous guinea pigs. But sadly Handsome STILL hasn’t achieved world renown. Well, now he has a new plan to get his name on the telly – he’ll be someone’s hero! When pushing Jeff Budgie off a roof and ‘saving’ him fails spectacularly, Handsome is at his wits’ end. Little does he know, however, that the dastardly Dixons have escaped prison and are seeking revenge for their capture. What’s more, Dan and Dolly’s ghastly greed has led them to kidnapping, and now someone really DOES need saving! Can Piggy Handsome save the day for real? And will it earn him the fame he so desperately desires?

I liked this book because piggy handsome was very funny because he had a bruise on his bum. I liked piggy handsome more.

A cute guinea-pig trying to be famous lots of great outfits and adventure.
I have a guinea pig of my own and the looks just like Handsome!
[Ginger body, white stripe on her forehead and I don't think you can see Handsome's ears but
my guinea-pig has light-brownish ears]
And a feathered blue budgie!

This was a very funny book.

My favourite character was Jeff the Bird. It's a humorous book because Jeff always tries to become famous but ends up failing in a strange way.

This book was not really my kind of book

It wasn't not that funny but the worse part is when 2 animals get scaped with a very bad dog. It scares me

Jeff Budgie is my favourite character - he’s small, smart and knows how to send messages by mobile phone (even though he’s a budgie!). He helps to rescue Bunty Mistaf, the big dog disguised as a cow, who comes from Tibet. I’d recommend this to a friend because Piggy Handsome is really funny.

Piggy Hero by Pip Jones is a masterpiece. This book is very funny, and Piggy Handsome makes me laugh. Piggy Handsome wanted to be a hero and be noticed by everyone. Meanwhile,Dan and Dolly Dixon have escaped out of jail and stole a very expensive dog and pretended that the dog was a cow!

I would recommend this book. Its just fantastic!
