My daughter and I recently visited our favorite book store – a local, independent retailer that has wonderful books and  a terrific staff that knows children’s literature.  We walked away with a new favorite that shares a lovely store and includes breathtakingly beautiful illustrations.  Little Beaver and the Echo is a really a winner!

Beaver is lonely and cries out across the pond.  His cries echos back to him, and he decides to travel across the pond to the poor creature who is crying in an effort to make a  friend.  On his journey he is befriended by a myriad of forest animals, and he ultimately learns the story of the echo.

I cannot recommend this book highly enough ~ simply outstanding!
