This was so beautifully illustrated! The story was fun with a good message behind it to do the right thing! A wonderful addition to any child’s library!

Zara the Capybara is a playful little zoo resident in London who loves turning sweet wrappers into jewelry. When she stumbles upon a sparkling royal tiara after a visit from the King and Queen, she hides it instead of returning it, only to forget where she put it. With the help of her friends, Zara not only finds the tiara but also learns that doing the right thing can lead to unexpected rewards.

This book is such a delight. If you’ve ever seen a capybara in person (I was lucky enough to once!), you know how charming and expressive they are, and this story captures that personality perfectly. Beyond the adorable characters, it carries a warm message about integrity, cooperation, and not judging each other when mistakes are made. Instead, it focuses on helping one another make the right choices, even when it’s hard. I loved how the capybaras’ names rhyme and add a fun, playful rhythm that kids will adore during storytime. It’s the kind of book that sneaks in positive lessons while keeping young readers entertained, and I truly enjoyed every page.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this book in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.
