Sparkly Spotlight

The third book in an accessible new chapter book series with adorable black and white illustrations and plenty of reading encouragement along the way, Sparkle Pigs is a laugh-out-loud, warm, and glittery series of guinea pig adventures that’s perfect for fans of Dave the Unicorn and Claude.

Squeak, squeak! What could be better than a dress-up costume? A guinea pig in a dress-up costume! Welcome to the world of Sparkle Pigs!

The time has come for the annual Sparkle Pig Talent Show!

Guinea pigs from all over Piggieland will come and showcase their fabulous talents: Playing the trumpet flower! Unpeeling a mandarin in a single spiral! Patting their heads while rubbing their bellies!

Muffin and Ziggy—polar opposites, unexpected friends, and dynamic duo—are ready to take the stage. But before they can, another piggie’s magical talent goes astray, and suddenly all the Sparkle Pigs become…Sparkle Bunnies?!

Ziggy and Muffin will have to work together to solve this bunny business and restore all the guinea pigs to their true selves!

Kit Holliday is an Aussie author living in the US (which puts her much closer to the natural habitat of guinea pigs and capybaras—hooray!). She loves sparkly things, silly jokes, and carrot cake, and puts as many of these in her stories as possible. When she’s not dreaming up magical worlds, she spends her time going on adventures with her fabulous family and her cheeky dog.

Fran Brylewska and David Brylewski met while studying at Newport Film School in the early ’90s. After graduation, they both moved to London and went on to have very successful careers in film and television animation before forming their own illustration company, Dizzy Devil Designs, in 1997. Now living in Dorset with their two grown-up kids, they continue to work together creating fun children’s illustrations in both traditional and digital mediums.
