What’s a beaver family to do when their lodge becomes overcrowded? It’s time for young beavers to begin lives on their own. While Beau Beaver’s siblings settle easily in their new locations, Beau just can’t find a place to call home. He wanders until he at last finds a ditch, then works on a beaver lodge, quick as he can. To his surprise, he has caused a small crisis, since his building site turns out to be in the middle of town!

Based on an actual beaver tale that occurred in Rockland, Maine — and was witnessed by illustrator Jim Sollers — Beau Beaver Goes to Town is destined to delight animal lovers. With its timely treatment of the increasing incursions of housing developments into wildlife habitat, and with its closing pages packed with beaver facts, this also makes a great teaching tool for parents and teachers alike.
