Little Tale of the Beaver Who Built Too Much

A Story About Knowing When Enough Is Enough

Beaver is proud of his dam, but when he decides there's room for just one more branch, he keeps building until his little dam isn't so little anymore. Soon, less water is reaching Turtle, Mouse, and Snail downstream. When Beaver realizes what has happened, he works to set things right and discovers an important lesson: sometimes something can be just right without adding more. This gentle illustrated fable introduces young children to the value of knowing when enough is enough.
