Description

The rainforest roars with squeaks and squawks, alive with a rumpus of animal noises. Can any creature get a moment of rest and calm amidst this horrible hubbub? Not until…the blurbly blowing of bubbles, the fwippa fwip of flickering ears, and the shookita shimmy of a shaking booty bottom announce the arrival of the largest, friendliest rodent around (which really exists in the wild) who calls for something new: cuddles!

But, the animals wonder, can cuddles de-harden a shell? Don’t they look weird? Will that closeness feel uncomfortable? Capy has gentle answers to all these questions, helping every cuddler feel safe and happy. Because when others feel happy, the capy feels happy too. And when capy is happy, she floofs!

Curl up with this book and learn that no matter how you do it, everyone can appreciate a cuddle.

"The animals in Whitbread's oil-paint illustrations have wonderfully expressive faces and body language that suit the story's lighthearted tone [...] High Fives for a title you'll want to embrace." —Kirkus Reviews
