A new neighbor with huge plans turns life upside down for animals who
live on the river in a charming ecological fable from Simon James.
Frog and his friends live happily together on the river. At least they
do until Beaver comes along. Beaver is determined to build the biggest
and best dam anyone has ever seen, and he doesn't stop to think about
what that will mean for everyone else's homes. Frog tries to tell Beaver
that his dam is getting too big, but Beaver just won't listen. Before
long, Beaver's dam is so huge that it stops all the water in the river,
and Frog and his friends must move upstream. But diverted water also
needs somewhere to go, and soon Beaver will learn that only one force is
stronger than a mighty river -- friendship.
