Beaver moves to a valley where he finds running water, trees, and a mate--it is beaver heaven! But eventually some new neighbors make their way into the beavers’ habitat, making life a bit more difficult for Beaver. Will they be able to live peacefully in the same place? 

This is a great look into how animals act and interact within the natural world, creating habitats where living things both survive and thrive. This book consists of a perfect balance of literary features, making it easy to read and relate to, and informational text. It is an excellent book for a broad understanding of animal habitats, adaptations, and commensal relationships. The story is enhanced by the additional information shared in the back of the book where content connections and activities are printed.
