The Beaver S Lodge

Explore the remarkable homes built by animal architects! Beavers create complex structures to meet their needs, just like people do. Each beaver family builds a dam in a river or creek in order to make a pond. The furry engineers then build a lodge out of branches, logs, and mud in the middle of the pond. They stay safe and warm in a large room above the water in their lodge. Jaw-dropping photos, a habitat map, and fascinating information will captivate young readers as they learn about these truly spectacular animal towns.

When Beaver gets hurt trying to fix some holes in the roof of his new lodge, his friends Hedgehog and Bear come to the rescue, carrying him off to Bear's cave to recuperate. While Beaver sleeps, Hedgehog and Bear gather stones, sticks, grasses, and mud, not merely repairing the damaged lodge but also decorating their creation with things they find in the forest.

Created in collaboration with Smithsonian, this book uses real-world examples to make STEAM topics easier to understand. It features an age-appropriate STEAM activity that is perfect for makerspaces and introduces kindergartners to the steps of the engineering design process. It helps beginning readers learn to read and is ideal for kindergarten students or ages 4-6.

After Beaver is hurt when his home collapses, his friends Bear and Hedgehog work hard to build him a new one.

The Titans of the Cosmos summon a young mother nature, Aura, along with her arch rival Abor to put life on earth in the newly formed milky way. A contract is signed between Aura and Abor. If anything goes wrong with Aura's formula for evolution on earth, Abor may use any power of mother nature as he sees fit. Aura is instructed to choose the animals from the stars in the earth's night sky. She chooses the beavers to build the earth's habitats who are entrusted with the secret life formula for earth. All is well until Aura is summoned by the Titans to put life in another galaxy far away. Abor seizes his opportunity to wreck havoc on earth. When mother nature returns a trial is requested by Abor to determine if Aura's evolutionary formula for life has failed. The habitat animals lose the trial. After 1,000 years of hardship can the arrival of a new snow beaver save the animal kingdom from extinction? A classic story of good vs. evil. Determination, teamwork and a diversity of animal species working together - can the gang of youngsters save the habitat animals from extinction?
