Carybara Disco Dreams is a joyful and entertaining story that instantly captured the children’s attention during story time in my Year 2 class. From the very first page, the book dazzles with its wonderful, eye-catching illustrations that are bright and colourful. The pictures perfectly match the lively disco theme and kept everyone excited to see what would happen next.
A capybara is a very popular but underrepresented animal for many children and the playful characters and silly moments created lots of giggles. The book also includes some rhyme, which gives the story a fun rhythm and makes it even more enjoyable to share together.
This book has a lovely message that comes across. Beneath the sparkle and dancing, the story encourages children to be themselves, feel confident and have lots of fun without worrying about what others think. It celebrates individuality in a way that young readers can easily understand.
Overall, this is a delightful picture book that combines laughter, fun and is a must have in any book corner. It is a perfect for story time!
