There is also Fangio, a hedgehog with Argentinian blood, who sometimes stays in a box in the Sawdust family's garage, being fed on bread and milk. This collection was so popular when it was first published that it sparked a host of sequels, all of which you can be sure this reviewer will track down, and read with a big fat smile on her face. It isn't long before Olga finds out - and the lucky newcomers are just in time to hear her very first poetry recital!

Luckily, very luckily, Olga often got some backlash (in one way or another) for what she said or did. Although Olga is initially jealous of them, as they are kept in Karen's room and seem to be her favourites, she quickly warms up to them. Olga da Polga is both the story of guinea pig Olga da Polga’s new life with the Sawdust family and thirteen complete, stand-alone stories disguised as chapters.

These stories, however, all feature Olga da Polga, a self-important, mischievous and imaginative guinea pig, who loves telling wildly exaggerated tales about her experiences to her friends.

He is sly, and because he is free to enter and leave the house as he pleases, the other animals consider him to be knowledgeable about how the world works.Although they are not always sure whether to believe everything Olga says, one thing is certain - since Olga moved in, life is never dull! Olga da Polga is a fictional guinea pig, who is the heroine of a series of books for children written by Michael Bond and published between 1971 and 2002. Plus this being a book by Michael Bond, author of Paddington Bear, there is mention of Peru where Paddington also hailed from. uk\/collections\/signed-books\" title=\"Signed Books\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/www.

Olga da Polga , a guinea pig has more tales to tell in a day than me, This story is both adventurous and funny. Written by the beloved Michael Bond, with wonderful colour illustrations by Catherine Rayner and a dazzling design, this is a gift edition for young readers to treasure.He becomes a good friend of Olga da Polga, and invites her to break out of her confinement and experience "freedom". Sure, she was also interesting to read about, to see her live her life, to see her talk about the changing of seasons, to see her views on her home, to see her make friends with even the unlikeliest animals (cats).

Our Adult Fiction Books, Range includes Classics Novels, Comic Books, Crime, Thriller, Mystery Novels, General Fiction, Horror, Romance, Science Fiction and War.From the start it is clear that the stories comprise not only fantasy, but also accurate observation about how guinea pigs behave, and are cared for. Unlike Bond's more famous character, Paddington Bear, Olga is a teller of tall tales in the style of Baron Munchausen. I liked the chapter where there she tells a lie how the guinea pigs touched the moon and get their squeaks. whether that be her souping up of her rather mundane adventures, or her telling the stories of the history of the guinea-pig.
