In simple and concise language this tale tells the story of how one guinea pig saves the dandelion from . In the process very young children (under five years old) learn about plant growth, agriculture and the danger of extinction through over- consumption. Those are heavy duty issues to put on the plate of a three to five year old. Is it necessary to start that young? How about first getting into the miracle of the seed metamorphosing into a beautiful flower or food you can eat. If the author is aiming at slightly older 6- 8 years old) kids then the language needs to address those kids and be less patronizing.
The illustrations supported the text very well ( )

Every guinea pig in Dandeville loves to eat dandelion leaves until there is only one plant left, and Nibbles secretly and carefully tends this treasure until he can share the seeds with his community. ( )
