Beaver Kits by Ruth Owen

Written with the young reader in mind and a part of the Wild Baby Animals series.
Beaversprite: My Years Building an Animal Sanctuary
by Dorothy Richards
This book was published in 1977 to share Dorothy’s 40+ years of experience raising beavers at her home to help restore the near extinct population of beavers in the state of New York.
Dorothy does a wonderful job of retelling of her adventures, especially through the eyes of someone who became a life learner and advocate of the beavers having had no experience with these animals prior to receiving her first pair in the 1930’s.
This book is highly recommended and is appropriate for an independent reader or to share sections as a read aloud for the whole family.
