Description
When beavers move in, they chew down a tree.
They nibble the bark.
And they drag the branches into a stream.
Beavers topple trees and build dams, but they also cause floods and disrupt neighborhoods. So what do we do when beavers move in? We call the Tulalip tribes and they send biologists to help relocate our furry friends to somewhere far from people where they can be free.
Poetic text and gorgeous art makes this an irresistible read year-round. Perfect as a bedtime book or an accessible intro to environmental science.
