    Kevin McCloskey is the author of the critically acclaimed TOON Books Giggle and Learn series and a retired illustration professor at Pennsylvania’s Kutztown University. His first Giggle and Learn book, We Dig Worms, was described as “a winning combination of facts and gross-out fun” by the New York Times. His wife (a librarian!) asked for a fun worm book to read at the library, so he came up with an informative and silly story that evolved into a now-beloved series. View titles by Kevin McCloskey
    "Curious kids explore what makes capybaras so special—and learn that there’s so much more to these oversize rodents than their cute appearance... A visually delightful capybara primer best enjoyed as a read-aloud."—Kirkus Reviews
