Reviews
Toytown's favorite guinea pig returns in Little Whistle's Dinner Party by Cynthia Rylant, illus. by Tim Bowers, to host a midnight supper. He searches high and low for food and supplies, but when his friends finally arrive, Little Whistle is nowhere in sight. Bowers's sly perspectives bring the characters to life.

Ages 3-5. Little Whistle [BKL F 15 01] introduced the guinea pig who lives in Toyland--a store filled with toys that come alive at night to run, play, and have tea parties. This follow-up revisits many of the same characters, and even the same activities, except this time Little Whistle corrals his friends for a dinner party instead of for tea. As with the first title, the story is weak, especially since this is the characters' second go-round. The illustrations, however, are lovely. Children, particularly those with a penchant for dollhouses and miniatures, will linger over the sturdy, detailed paintings that gleam with a menagerie of slightly old-fashioned toys; and Little Whistle himself will charm children with his floppy pea coat and bustling amiability.
