Hello there, My name is Karen Tenkate and I live in Gippsland, Victoria with my husband, Mike(co-author) and our 3 children. I am a school counsellor with degrees in nutrition and psychology. I am passionate about being the best Mum I can be and work hard to provide a stable, loving and stimulating upbring for our children. One of the things we find important as parents is quiet reading time at the end of a long day to relax our kids before sleep. We wrote this fun series for two main reasons. The first, was to bring a nice story for kids to enjoy, with easy-to-read sentences and colourful artwork they would love. The second, is to provide entertainment for parents as well, so they can enjoy story time in these easy to relate grown up scenarios our guinea pigs find themselves in! Mike and I found great enjoyment coming up with pages of tough scenarios we have all experienced as grownups, to imagine how our cute little Guinea pigs might deal with them! Our hope for these books is to make any story time fun and enjoyable for the whole family. We hope all our readers start imagining things Guinea pigs or their own pets, like and don’t like. We can’t wait to hear them! When we are not imagining how our Guinea pigs would react in boring board room meetings, we can be found out in our garden planting fruit trees, edging our garden beds, mowing, weeding or simply enjoying the view watching the world go by on our back patio. facebook - guineapigbooks instagram - guinea_pig_books
