Rosemary Wells, illustrated by Rosemary Wells
Felix, a guinea pig, has formed a new friendship with Fiona. After the two win a talent contest, Felix’s friends bully him. Fiona responds by showing Felix how he can stand up for himself. The book pairs this conflict with watercolor-and-pencil drawings, and its central action moves from a shared contest victory to Felix facing teasing with help from his friend.
