A Better Friend Than a Porcupine

A Better Friend Than a Porcupine

Mice, rats, squirrels, beavers, and porcupines are all "rodents" -- but who's the biggest rodent of all? The capybara. It almost looks like a small bear, but it's happy to hang out with other creatures. At an animal shelter in Arkansas, a group of puppies loves a rescued capybara named Cheesecake. They snuggle with her, climb on her, and splash in the kiddie pool with her. Cheesecake also shares meals with a baby deer and a turtle. They're probably all glad she isn't a prickly porcupine!

Read the story. Talk through the numbers. Kids do best when you do the math together!
