Meet nature's greatest engineer! Introduce elementary kids to beavers and their lives in the wild.

Built for swimming and skilled at forming dams, beavers are large rodents with strong, tree-cutting teeth. With STEM-appropriate text, kids explore the animal's appearance, behavior, and habitat alongside gorgeous photography. An end story shares a folk tale from Florida of why beavers slap their tails on water.

A great nonfiction resource for student reports, animal units, and life science lessons. Includes table of contents, index, same-page definitions, and further resources.

Nicely-presented introduction to the lives, habitat, and behavior of these industrious and long-lived mammals. Each page features a large, close-up photo. Books such as this are a great step in learning to appreciate and care about wildlife and the natural world!
