When I Miss You

(4) PS Way I Feel series. Illustrated by Kathy Parkinson. A young guinea pig describes how he feels whenever he's temporarily separated from one or both of his parents. Sometimes the narrator seems to be parroting adult ideas ("When I miss you, there are ways others can help me"), but overall the text is sensitive and reassuring. The gentle images of the pudgy, anthropomorphized animal cast seem influenced by Rosemary Wells.
