“Curious kids explore what makes capybaras so special—and learn that there’s so much more to these oversize rodents than their cute appearance... A visually delightful capybara primer best enjoyed as a read-aloud.”—Kirkus Reviews
“McCloskey’s signature gouache and ink artwork on recycled brown paper is visually pleasing, investing the big mammal with personality and detail. Speech balloons and captions make the variegated page designs fun to parse for information. Kids come away with an appreciation for an unusual wild animal that’s fun to learn about, but that is not pet material.” —Youth Services Book Review
