Books with title Beavers

Beavers might not be very large animals, but they can wipe out whole forests. Beavers need certain trees for sustenance and lodging, but that can mean widespread destruction throughout their habitats, including flooding. However, beavers have a positive role to play in nature, too. They allow certain kinds of trees and animals to thrive. Readers will discover many more fun facts about these rodents, such as how their orange teeth are covered in iron. Fact boxes and graphic organizers make this book an even more valuable source of information for animal enthusiasts.

2016 Moonbeam Awards Winner, Environmental Issues Beavers Away! tells the true story of a game warden named Elmo Heter, who solved a complicated problem in a very novel way. He devised a method to safely reintroduce beavers into a remote wilderness--by parachuting them from the sky! The relocated beavers were able to quickly restore the eroded and barren landscape and create lush habitat that provided food and shelter for many other types of animals. This remarkable story of Elmo and a beaver named Geronimo is significant today as we confront the effects of climate change and try to protect and conserve wetlands and the wildlife that depend on them.
