GET BUSY, BEAVER! is the adorable story of Thelonious Beaver, who doesn't fit in. But as he continues to do the things he loves, the other beavers realize how wonderfully special Thelonious is.
Thelonious isn't like the other beavers. He's a little different.
While Ma, Pa, and Babs Beaver hurry, hurry, hurry to make their dam bigger, bigger, bigger, Thelonious is busy with a project of his own -- a creation so beautiful that it changes everything.
And soon all the beavers in Thelonious's pond join him, as they take a moment to stop and smell the flowers.

PreSchool-Grade 2–The Beavers are busy rebuilding their dam, except for Thelonious, who daydreams and idles the day away. While his family is working harder and harder to keep up with their neighbors, he creates an artistic structure of trees, leaves, and flowers inspired by his observations of the world around him. Through his example, the other beavers learn to slow down and appreciate the creative side of life. Crimi spices her tale with many repeated words, which works well to capture the frenzy of the industrious animals. In contrast, her descriptions of Thelonious's activities use long, flowing sentences to express his temperament. Bynum's cartoon watercolors depict colorful landscapes and the characters have amusing and varied facial expressions. Unfortunately, Thelonious's construction is a little too amorphous and abstract to generate much enthusiasm from readers. Despite this flaw and the fact that the story is reminiscent of Leo Lionni's Frederick (Knopf, 1967), it is an enjoyable read-aloud with a valuable message.–Rachel G. Payne, Brooklyn Public Library, NY
