Reading like a nature documentary, this story drops you right into the world of beavers! Full of beautiful, descriptive language and tons of educational material, you will discover a little more about beavers with each page turn as you follow Haloka, a fictional beaver building a lodge for her babies. A foreword at the beginning informs readers that every incident in the story is something that has actually been observed! This book covers all four seasons, exposing the reader to the common challenges, obstacles, and events in a beaver’s life. This would be an excellent read-aloud or an independent read for science study. Since this book depicts nature accurately, there are some mentions of violence among animals that may bother younger or more sensitive readers. 192 pgs, pb.
