A Delightful Story-Poem for Children of All Ages
Once again Phil Vischer, creator of VeggieTales, proves that the truth of God's Word addresses life in a captivating and life-transforming way. Using a catchy rhythm in verse, Vischer uses gentle, even delightful, humor to teach the lesson that working together can bring much better success than trying to solve problems alone.

Individuals familiar with the kinds of lessons Vischer and his comrades have taught for well over a decade through his amazing vegetables will not be disappointed by all 47 beavers adrift at sea.

Grandparents need to buy this book so they can share it with their grandkids. Parents need to add this book to their children's library. Churches need to include this book in the resources for their Christian Education hour.

A product of Vischer's new venture, Jellyfish Labs, this book holds a promise for increasingly more exciting and creative offerings to come. The CD included with this book has many super extras.

I cannot recommend this book more highly. I chuckled all the way through the story. And, I found the memorable lines of the poem rebounding the message of the book over and over again.

Beavers
This book has easy repetition for pre-schoolers. The art work is colorful and attractive for early readers and pre-readers.

You'll laugh and your kids will learn from Vischer's latest book
Phil Vischer, creator of VeggieTales, brings us the perilous tale of 47 beavers. Yes, folks you read that correctly - beavers. Written in an amusing most-of-the-time rhyming format, kids will love this exciting adventure story as these tenacious beavers escape an evil fur trapper in a canoe, battle the raging sea and a shark, and eventually set up a tourist resort in Hawaii. All while working together and using the philosophy "two minds are better than one and 47 are better than two!"

You will find yourself laughing along with your kids the whole way through. Kids too young to enjoy the story will still be captured by the bright and colorful pages and expressiveness of the beavers and their adversaries. Book includes a sing-along CD.

One word of warning: Not for the parent who frowns on imagination.
