“Gibbons is a master at creating factual books through which young readers can explore details of nature at an accessible and engaging depth. Her latest uses narrative text, generous and accurate watercolor illustrations, and informative inset boxes to show and tell readers about the habits, environments, family structure, and anatomy of the beaver. . . . As both a read-aloud and a resource for children in the earliest grades looking for a research source, this stands as a model.”
—Booklist

“A great source for learning more about beavers and an incentive to get out in nature and see their handiwork.”
