Synopsis

Little Beaver is feeling scared...his big front tooth is loose and feels like it might fall out! How can he be a beaver without his big front tooth? Worried that he may not even be a beaver at all, Little Beaver heads off in search of his true identity, meeting LOTS of different animals along the way. "Am I a muskrat?" he asks and the Muskrat answers no - they eat fish and Little Beaver eats bark. Maybe he's a porcupine? Or a woodchuck? In the end, it takes the kind words of Wise Old Beaver for Little Beaver to discover who he truly is and that losing your teeth is simply part and parcel of growing up! This is the hugely anticipated follow-up to "Little Beaver and the Echo"! "Little Beaver and the Echo" is published in over 20 languages around the world. It has won awards in the Netherlands, Great Britain and the US. The Bookseller called it "the perfect picture book." It is a sweet, gentle tale that will be complemented, once more, by Fox-Davies' softly glowing landscapes and winsome furry characters.
