Bartholomew will not listen to his mother or father and work on becoming a better beaver by learning the things a beaver needs to learn...then Mr. Wolf shows up. Great lesson for children.

This is a very cute children's book about a young beaver who doesn't want to grow up and do all the grown-up beaver things (like building dams, chomping down trees, swimming well under water, using his tail to slap the water and warn of danger) that his parents try to teach him. He just wants to play and have fun. Until one day when he meets up with a wolf and he learns how useful some of those skills can be.

~I collect beavers (figurines, Christmas ornaments, etc.). Any time I see a children's book about beavers I have to get it. I'm still trying to find the one my grandma had at her house when I was little.

Young Bartholomew would rather play than work, though he finds his parents' lessons come in handy when danger arises. A cute moralistic tale from the early fifties.
