By the Beaver Pool - Book & Fact cards

By the Beaver Pool

A lovely nature themed book with accompanying fact cards by Little Robins

As Beck settles in at Grandma's farm in Scotland, they watch the beavers busily gathering sticks to build a dam, which creates a pool and wetland habitat where lots of other wildlife can live. As the seasons pass, Beck and the beavers find happiness in their new homes.

By the Beaver Pool is a tale of new beginnings, rewilding, connecting with nature and feeling at home. Catherine Ward's gentle story cleverly weaves in beaver facts to teach young readers about these incredible ecosystem engineers, which are being reintroduced in the UK due to their ability to transform their local environment and increase biodiversity. Phoebe Roze's characterful, warm illustrations show the parallel stories of Beck and the beavers, set in stunning Scottish scenery.
