About This Book
Melanie Watt, creator of Scaredy Squirrel, brings her signature humor to this engaging chapter book about capybaras. Readers aged 4-11 will learn interesting, sometimes quirky, facts about these popular rodents. The book cleverly weaves a narrative around the facts, as a capybara character tries to keep one particularly "shocking" truth hidden, building anticipation for a humorous reveal. It's an excellent choice for reluctant readers or anyone who enjoys learning with a laugh.
Funny and irreverent, this new picture book from the creator of Scaredy Squirrel teaches some very interesting animal facts and will have readers laughing the whole way through. We've all heard of capybaras, we all love capybaras, but how much do we know about them, really? Dive into this fact-packed picture book and uncover the secrets -- some cute, some curious, some... not so much -- of these lovable oversized rodents. For as fascinating as these animals are, there's one extra-shocking fact that this capybara does NOT want you to know! Will the truth come out in the end?
