My mother used to read this book to us, and when I found it on her bookshelves a few years ago and opened it up, I was struck with the same facination for the way these animals live that I had had as a child. Really, the book is amazing- the beaver dam picture alone is very detailed and you can't help but put yourself in their little dam home, cozy and safe.
The hollow tree page is another brilliant picture.
Bowden goes crazy over this book, and sometimes I try to skip paragraphs because it's a little lengthy, and so far, he doesn't really notice. This is his favorite book to sit down and read to himself.
