Capybara: The World's Largest Rodent

(4) K-3 More SuperSized! series. Simple texts introduce the habitats, diets, life cycles, physical characteristics, behaviors, and unique adaptations for survival of these amazingly large mammals. Stock photos, including close-ups of adults and their young, illustrate the pages. The information is limited and there are some goofy section heads (e.g., "Beary Big," "What's In a Name?"), but the books are generally useful. Reading list. Glos., ind. Review covers these More SuperSized! titles: Brown Bear, Siberian Tiger, Southern Elephant Seal, Capybara, Killer Whale, and Red Kangaroo.
