There was a capybara family. At bedtime, the baby capybara was a bit fussy. The mother capybara nuzzled it gently. She told the little one about the stars above, how they twinkled like the fish in the river. The father capybara added that the moon was like a big, shiny pebble. As they talked, the baby capybara calmed down, feeling safe and warm, and soon fell asleep in the family's nest.

I'm not sure specifically as there could be many novels with this name. It might be about a petting zoo, perhaps the experiences of the animals there, or the people who visit or work at the petting zoo.
The capybara's appearance can be an interesting element. With their big bodies and cute faces, they are very appealing to children. Also, their behavior like swimming and sunbathing can be fun to include in the story. For example, a capybara might swim across a lake to find a special treat on the other side.
Once upon a time, there was a little capybara named Cappy. Cappy lived near a beautiful river. One day, Cappy decided to explore the other side of the river. He was a bit scared at first, but his curiosity got the better of him. He swam across the river and found a meadow full of delicious grass. Cappy ate to his heart's content and then made some new friends among the other animals in the meadow. It was a great adventure for Cappy.
My first time petting a cat was amazing. The cat was so soft and furry. It purred gently as I stroked its back. It was a small grey cat with big green eyes. I was a bit nervous at first, but the cat seemed to like my touch right away.
Another theme is the discovery of new powers or abilities related to the pets. Sometimes, the pets are not ordinary animals but have some sort of miraculous or magical element to them. This adds an interesting twist to the story as the characters have to figure out how to use these new elements to their advantage. In some fanfictions, the pets can even transform, which is really cool.
