Have you ever seen or wondered about a capybara—the world’s largest, furriest rodent? Meet Tito, a cheeky capybara with chubby cheeks and webbed toes. With his shiny fur and bold personality, Tito thinks he is king of the swamp. However, when a giant green crocodile slides into the swamp, it tests Tito’s confident personality. Beto, the wise heron, warns Tito to be careful. Even so, Tito doesn’t listen. Tito quickly learns that sometimes, listening is the best choice of all. This engaging story, with expressive dialogue and playful humor, makes a delightful bedtime companion. The Cheeky Capybara, with lessons about friendship and humility, makes an excellent addition to a classroom library. If your little one enjoys The Selfish Crocodile or Giraffes Can’t Dance, they’ll adore The Cheeky Capybara "The Cheeky Capybara is an entertaining story packed with lessons for kids about not getting too full of yourself and actually paying attention when someone's looking out for you. Tito's pride was too much, and it almost cost him his life. I love that he had Beto as a friend because she was wise and honest with him. I hope young readers learn from both these characters. Kateryna Dronova is an engaging storyteller because she uses humor and a conversational tone, with relatable characters and situations that will spark children's imaginations" Reviewed by Doreen Chombu for Readers' Favorite
