The Capybaras

It’s tough to review this book without giving away the surprise ending, which is the best part. A family of capybaras need a safe place to hide during hunting season and they find a flock of chickens who begrudgingly give them a place to stay. But their relationship changes. Hunting season ends. Or does it? And do the chickens befriend the capybaras? If you’re like me, once you see the cover, you’ll be hooked by the illustrations, which aren’t fussy at all and carry the story ahead of its words, encouraging the reader to not miss a single detail.
