Cappy West in Mongolia

di Kerry Kier (Autore)

Kerry Kier, 2026

Cappy West was sure his compass had finally broken. There was nothing out here but grass and sky. 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 10 of Cappy West: The Global Explorer, Cappy wanders onto the endless grasslands of Mongolia and gets everything delightfully wrong. He sleeps against a wall that turns out to be a fold-up felt house. He challenges expert kid riders to a race and eats their dust. He tries to "rescue" a herd of wild horses, shivers across the freezing Gobi on a two-humped camel, trips over a nest of dinosaur eggs, and bumbles into all three games of the Naadam festival at once. Along the way, young readers discover real, verified facts about Mongolia: one of the most thinly settled lands on Earth; the ger, a round felt home that travels with the family; children who ride in long-distance horse races; the takhi, the only truly wild horse left; the cold Gobi Desert and its two-humped Bactrian camels; the first nest of dinosaur eggs ever found; the world's coldest capital; the tallest horse-and-rider statue on Earth; and the summer festival of Naadam. 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!"
