Book Thoughts: Building (Cole)

  • two beavers find a place to build a home and, in the process, help the ecosystem
  • gentle and simple story line
  • fantastic illustrations

Type: picture book
Ages: 4-8
Author: Henry Cole

I knew I would like this book. Always a fan of cross-hatch art, I was not disappointed. The beavers exemplify great diligence in their building of their dam home, even when a storm hits! For young animal and nature lovers, definitely check this one out.

By the way, there is one typo in the text. I bet this pained Cole when that happened, but just be aware of it, in case your children are learning from it. “Tale” is used instead of “tail.”

Happy reading!
