The first year of a beaver kit's life is full of new discoveries and dangers. But the most important lesson the kit learns is how to take care of his family's home. The lodge where he lives is protected by a long dam that many beavers have worked to build over the years. As the kit grows up, he helps repair and add to the family dam--and begins to build a life for himself.

Set at what is believed to be the world's longest beaver dam, Build, Beaver, Build--by award-winning author Sandra Markle--provides a glimpse of beaver life, seen through the eyes of one young beaver and his family.
