Review

Ace is having a good downhill run when the snow disappears. As the beaver heroes continue down the mountain they find a river and dam built by three baboons which will negatively impact the island.

Not only is this a lesson in environmental science it is a funny and attractive graphic novel. The text is very readable, the font is well sized as well as clear, and the illustrations are compelling. Emerging readers as well as reluctant readers are sure to want this title on their library and classroom shelves. Due to the poor binding this book will not last long in any collection.

Overall Book Score: good
