Twenty is Too Many

Twenty guinea pigs set out on a pleasure cruise, but bit by bit the crew reduces as curious guinea pigs abandon ship to pursue silly adventures. As guinea pigs leave the scenes, they leap on and around oversized numbers representing the arithmetic behind their actions. In the end, only one guinea pig remains -- but one can be fun, too.

Twenty guinea pigs can be too many, especially if they're crowded onto a tiny, tipsy boat. So some guinea pigs have to go! Luckily, there are plenty of adventures for the courageous cavies who jump ship. One by one they leave, showing eager little readers the principles of subtraction. As the book ends, the guinea-pig crew has shrunk to one...but one can be fun!

In this companion to One Guinea Pig Is Not Enough, Kate Duke's colorful guinea pigs return to win even more hearts with their whimsical ways. You can take away the guinea pigs, but you can't take away the fun!
