When his owner's parents let him go in Central Park, a young guinea pig learns to survive in the natural world with the help of a "park-wise" squirrel while trying to find his way back home.
"Crunch the guinea pig loves his food, so it's just as well there's plenty of it, especially when a hungry little mouse wants a share. So why does Crunch refuse?

Will he find the little mouse, and if so, what else might he discover?"--Back cover.
