At Kids Can Press, we recognize that viewing a single spread is not always effective when attempting to evaluate reading level, gauging student interest or appraising the quality and detail of illustration in a children’s book.

For this reason, we have worked with Lookybook.com to incorporate full, cover-to-cover previews of select picture books and early reading titles within our on-line store. We believe that Lookybook is the most compelling previewing experience currently available on-line, and that it’s as close and you can get to flipping through pages of the real book in a bookstore, at a trade show or school library. We hope that you will take advantage of this useful feature while browsing through our Web site.

For more information about Lookybook, or to read reviews of our books by librarians, industry experts and moms and dads, visit www.lookybook.com.

Hardcover Jacket CAD $16.95 978-1-55453-749-5 Grades: PreSchool to 2 Ages: 3 to 7 Language Arts Picture Books Reading Levels: Fountas & Pinnell I Grade Level 1/2 Reading Recovery 15-16 © 2011 4-color 8 x 8 32 pages	The busy but careless beaver spends his days following random impulses, rarely thinking things through and leaving in his wake a devastated forest filled with stumps, half-nibbled trees and injured, homeless animals. But then one day the beaver finds himself on the wrong side of a falling tree, which as it turns out, is just the thing to knock some sense into him. After reflecting on his behavior, he decides to make some changes. Soon, the now wiser and gentler beaver is getting down to the business of making things right, much to the delighted surprise of his forest friends. This charming story from the creator of Big Bear Hug and Making the Moose Out of Life gently teaches youngsters how to take care with others, as well as the world around us. Reviews “Great bibliotherapy for any inattentive busy beaver.” — Kirkus Reviews, June 2011 “Try this title as bibliotherapy for youngsters who need to focus on impulse control.” — School Library Journal, September 2011 “We end up with a hero both gauche and inspiring, and a message that’s Canadian through and through: clean up the forest, say sorry, and we can all be friends.” — Quill & Quire - Starred Review, September 2011 “The art’s quirkiness and the text’s droll delivery contribute equally to the lighthearted tone of this cautionary tale.” — Publishers Weekly, September 2011
