Cappy West

Cappy West never means to learn anything. The facts just keep finding him. Meet Cappy West — a relaxed, water-loving capybara with a sage-green bandana, a brass compass, and a real gift for taking the scenic route. In Book 5 of Cappy West: The Global Explorer, Cappy sets off across Namibia looking for one simple thing: a nice place to swim. Instead, he climbs a "small hill" that turns out to be one of the tallest sand dunes on Earth, tries to ice-skate on a giant floor made of salt, apologizes to a plant older than a thousand years, and trips right over the biggest meteorite ever found. Every wrong turn leads somewhere wonderful — and somewhere real. Young readers discover the true wonders of Namibia, all woven naturally into the adventure: The Namib, the oldest desert on Earth, with dunes nearly a thousand feet tall The mysterious Skeleton Coast, where hot sand meets a freezing sea The country with more wild cheetahs than anywhere on the planet Desert elephants with wider feet and longer legs Ancient rock carvings and the astonishing thousand-year-old Welwitschia plant The salt-white Etosha Pan you can see from space A hidden underground lake, a sixty-ton space rock, and a green river full of hippos Gentle, funny, and full of heart, Cappy never lectures — he blunders, wonders, and learns right alongside the reader. The local children he meets are always the clever ones with the answers, so kindness and curiosity shine on every page. Perfect for ages 6–8, early independent readers, and bedtime read-alouds. With a friendly illustration in every chapter, a Travel Scrapbook, fun-fact boxes, and a quiz to test what they've discovered. Pack your curiosity. Cappy's about to get a little bit lost — and find something amazing. "I wasn't lost — I was just taking the scenic route to this fact!"
