[.ca] Building Beavers (ISBN 0822536323)

Maud's opinion:
The author-photographer uses a scientific approach by asking a question about beavers and/or their skills, then proceeding with text and photos to answer the question with facts. In this style a beaver's lodge and dam are explained as are the beavers' anatomical adaptations, diet and family life. This is a lovely book giving great information in a simple format for young and those who might be reading with them. There is a simple glossary, index and diagram of a beaver. The photographs are excellent showing beavers building, repairing, playing with or supporting the young, and even underwater shots. Easy to read and understand but with lots of information. Enjoy!

Building Beavers is Dam Fine Reading!:
Ms. Martin-James has written an engaging and fun book that is a delight for children AND their parents -- and is educational at the same time. Highly recommended for a nature-loving youngster.
