Some explorers pack a map. Cappy West packed snacks.
Meet Cappy West — a friendly capybara with a brass compass, a sage-green bandana, and absolutely no sense of direction. He never sets out to learn anything. The learning just keeps finding him.
In Book 1 of Cappy West: The Global Explorer, Cappy sets off across Brazil and gets everything delightfully wrong. He goes looking for the Amazon River and walks into the rainforest instead. He greets a bubblegum-pink dolphin like it might give him directions. He mistakes a field of blue lagoons for a beach, gets gently turned away from an island full of snakes, and ends up playing a footvolley match using his nose.
Along the way, young readers discover real, verified facts about Brazil: the Pantanal, the world's largest tropical wetland and a paradise for wild capybaras; an Amazon canopy so thick a raindrop takes ten minutes to reach the ground; the boto, the river dolphin that turns pink as it ages; the fish-filled blue lagoons of Lençóis Maranhenses; and the Pirangi Cashew Tree — one single tree that grew into a whole forest.
Every short chapter pairs a funny blunder with a true discovery, a Fun Fact, and a gentle Cappy Tip about kindness, curiosity, and slowing down to notice the world. The book closes with a Travel Scrapbook, a fact recap, and a quiz to share.
Perfect for ages 6–8 (grades 2–3), confident new readers, bedtime read-alouds, and homeschool trips around the globe. Each book stands on its own — or collect the whole around-the-world series.
"I wasn't lost — I was just taking the scenic route to this fact!"
