Little beauty, such a cutie! Yay for Capybara!

Capybara has a big day ahead. There’s lunch to crunch and munch, friends to meet and greet, water to splash, and races to dash!

Follow along on Capybara’s fun-filled adventure! Set along a lush river—home to capybaras, jacanas, and caiman—Harper’s joyful graphic art and simple lyrical prose celebrate unlikely friendships and the heroic lengths we go to keep them safe.

Genre:

Publishers Weekly
“A buoyant, bouncy read-aloud featuring the world’s largest rodent and its avian friend. . . Funny, tender, and endlessly rereadable; storytime gold.”
Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review
