Building

Ages 4 to 8, Grades P to 3

In a follow-up to Nesting, this classic and beautifully illustrated picture book by celebrated author-illustrator Henry Cole follows a family of beavers. Perfect for parents and teachers to share with young children to introduce beginning life science concepts.

With stunning line art and a limited color palette, the simple text follows a family of beavers as they do what beavers do best: build! Two beavers find a stream, build a dam, and raise a family in their new lodge. When the dam is threatened by storms, the beavers work hard to rebuild it.
