Gail Gibbons’s books are particularly accurate because she goes right to the source when researching a topic. She has been on the seventeenth floor of a skyscraper in progress, has spoken with truck drivers about the workings of their rigs, has dismantled every clock in her home, and would have donned scuba diving gear to research a sunken ship had the sea waters not been too turbulent. Gail says "I had a lot of ‘whys’ when I was a child. I guess I still do."

I've been reading Gail Gibbons books to my son since he was 1. He's almost 6 now and still loves them but now he's reading them to me. All her books are just fantastic! Highly recommended. He can speak at expert level about beavers now.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful book
Reviewed in the United States on February 16, 2019
Verified Purchase
Initially I didn't plan to order this book due to its cartoonish artwork on the cover. But inside the graphics are beautifully and systematicly presented even down to the inside chambers of the beaver lodge. I'm so glad I bought it. There is so much information as to span several readings before you complete the book. Very educational and a great addition to any child's library. Beavers have been depleted and many of us have grown up without seeing these amazing creations who contribute so much to the ecosystems where they live. This book helps inform and us.

I have always loved beavers and find them charming animals. I have several of Gail Gibbons' animal books. She is immensely talented. This book is especially wonderful. (I am not a child, but a senior who still reads children's books. Go figure.) I hope Gail Gibbons produces many more of her wonderful books in her lifetime. She is a gem!

I like Gail GIbbons books! She does a great job on easier non-fiction books. The book, "Beavers" is just what it seems - a story about beavers and their habits.
