About this book
A two-year-old beaver flees his woodland home with his grandfather, carrying memories of swimming games, lily bulbs and winter beneath the ice. Clarence Hawkes gives Shaggycoat the worries and affections of a human household while following the practical demands of life in a pond. This animal story for young readers brings dams, lodges and family life into the foreground.
When strangers arrive with a canoe and a gun, Shaggycoat watches them through a mixture of fear and curiosity. Damage to his dam threatens the water level that protects his burrow, and he and Brighteyes gather plants to stop the flow. The wider introduction connects beavers with the fur trade and the making of meadowland.
