I recently put this audiobook on during a car ride, so my kids and I could listen together, and it was an absolutely amazing addition to our trip! My kids rarely want to engage in anything that isn't tangible, so watching them listen to this audiobook and get excited about learning about the capybara via audio was incredible. The narrator was so lively, and made the text engaging. The background music and sound effects enhanced the text and never competed with it. I honestly was so happy about how this audiobook listening experience was for my kids and now they can't get enough! We will absolutely by checking out Neon Squid's other audio titles!

This was such a fun read to listen to with my son. It was full of interesting facts about capybaras. We both learned a lot, and I imagine we will listen to it many times.

I think this whole series would be wonderful for kids of all ages (as an adult I enjoyed it too). I wanted to listen to the Capybara one because my son is obsessed with Capybara and is always telling me facts about them, now I can tell him some too. This book was filled with lots of fun, interesting information about the animals, their close relatives, eating habits and habitats. The "before you get started" section was great for helping young zoologists imagine what all they'd need to go interact with the animals. This is a super fun series that I'll be adding to our library collection.

This audiobook was made available for me to listen to and review by Neon Squid, Dr. Julia Mata, Macmillan Audio, and NetGalley.

This audiobook is narrated by Catherine Ho. Ms. Ho's voice is sweet and engaging, drawing the listener right in. This high quality audio production includes a light musical soundtrack that enhances the narration.

This is a fun way to introduce grade school age children to capybara's and rodents in general. This is a charming yet thorough, introduction to these adorable animals. This explains where they can be found, life span, how they look, their size, what they eat, their life cycle, their predators, how they socialize with each other and how they impact the environments they inhabit.

Thank you to Neon Squid, Dr. Julia Mata, Macmillan Audio, and NetGalley for the opportunity to listen to and review this audiobook. All opinions and viewpoints expressed in this review are my own.

Fantastic children’s narrative nonfiction. Super informative and presented in an entertaining way. Kids were mesmerized by the story and wanted more when it was over. Great find.
