Customer Reviews

The real thing!

I have been working professionally on capybaras since 1981 and this book is a beautiful portrait of what a capybara is like. The drawings, the details of the capybara's behavior are exactly what I would have expected a capybara would be as a pet. The story is also very nice, very well written and fun. Excellent book.

He's One of the Family

Capy's got feelings. He's a ham. He knows how to have fun. He loves the other members of the family. The cats think he's a giant mouse and he takes advantage. When he grows up the family is faced with a dilemma. It's a charming story and the illustrations are delightful. My 6 year old daughter laughs with every page no matter how many times we read it. A sure hit with any kid who loves animals.

Fun Book!

I recomend this book for families and/or animal lovers. It is a true story and is good fun. Think of what living with the worlds largest kind of rodent would be like.

Capyboppy was a good book.

This book was about a capybeara that lived in the Peet family. It got into lots of adventures. I liked this book because it was about a rodent that was very cute.
