Gr 3-6–Readers will start this book as nonbelievers but soon unearth facts that support the notion that beavers—some of them—can fly in certain instances. In 1948 in McCall, ID, the residents were sick and tired of the damage the beavers were doing to their wetland environment by gnawing all the wood they could find. What to do? Ideas were floated but nothing seemed viable. Truck them out of McCall? The surrounding trees made it impassible by road. In fact, there were no roads where they were going. But one person thought of a very different solution, a preposterous idea—and it worked. This book explores ingenuity, solving problems, group efforts, and perfecting an idea. The art is reflective of the terrain of where the story is set and is soft and engaging.
VERDICT Reading this book prior to engaging in experiments is like providing a blueprint for the scientific method; this is a must for elementary collections.
