Beaver Year

5/5 ( ratings)

As the two new-born beaver kits Cassie and Paddle enter the world, they are welcomed by their mother's soft crooning and gentle grooming. Confined at first to the inside of the lodge, it isn't long before they are exploring the underwater tunnels and deep waters of the beaver pond. The kits' instincts take hold as they follow their parents' example, helping to collect and store food, repair the dam and recognize the warning signs for danger. When heavy spring rains destroy their lodge and dam, Cassie and Paddle are on their own, for trapped by the rising waters they are carried from their home and family - thrust out into the wide world to begin their own new beaver colony. The book links the young beavers to the pulsing throb of the surrounding pond and forest in a gentle story of beaver life in the wilderness. In this delightful book, Irene Brady sensitively tells the story of the life cycle of the beaver, from birth to the giving of birth, through evocative text and delicate, appealing illustrations. In order that both be true-to-life, the author/artist spent countless hours through a whole year observing, sketching and journaling at beaver ponds.
