Beavers are unusual wild animals that often live near humans by water bodies. They appear cute when sitting upright, and they surprise as builders. Beaver dams can change landscapes. Therefore, beavers enhance the habitat for many birds, fish, and insects. There is also fascinating information about the family life of beavers, their body structure, and swimming techniques. As always, Eva Sixt combines the information into thoughtful compositions that captivate both young and old with their natural moods. No other children's non-fiction book about beavers delves as deeply into the biodiversity of beaver ponds. The illustrations depict life in and around the pond. Atmospheric, informative picture panels tell stories of ecological connections. The growing beaver populations spark sometimes intense discussions. The book addresses different viewpoints.
