Dear Wonder Bugs,
Here are some beaver books to devour!
Beaver Pond Moose Pond by Jim Arnosky (We read this in class!)
Beaver Is Lost by Elisha Cooper (A picture book with only 4 words and exciting yet simple illustrations. You will enjoy this page-turner!)
Old Beaver by Udo Weigelt (A heart-warming young versus old story.)
Busy Beavers
Check out last week’s blog for local places with busy beavers.
As an extra treat, here's a song for your and your wonder bug!
Noble Beaver of the Pond Song
By Miss Tara Von Dollen
(Tune: “Noble Duke of York”)
Oh the beaver chops down trees.
The beaver chews up bark.
He hauls the trees up to the dam,
down by the water dark.
And when you’re up you’re up
and when you’re down you’re down
And when you’re only halfway
up you’re neither up nor down.
*Stand up or crouch down with the words “up” and “down.”
Have fun,
Miss Tara
