Capybara is Friends With Everyone by Maddie Frost - ADVISABLE

Capybara is Friends With Everyone by Maddie Frost
. PICTURE BOOK. HarperCollins, 2022. $19. 9780063021020

BUYING ADVISORY: Pre-K, EL (K-3) - ADVISABLE

AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH

Capybara knows all about being a friend – they have more than 4000 of them, after all. After showing us how good of a friend they are, they run into sloth, who seems to be resistant to capybara’s charms. Maybe Capybara needs to rethink his ideas about friendship.

Capybara’s energy is infectious – quite the drama queen (Capy’s gender is actually unspecified). I love the slight contrasts between Capy’s first ideas about being a good friend and their new perspective – instructive without being didactic.
