I am searching for a picture book from my youth about a beaver that became increasingly industrious and started turning into some sort of earth-moving machine – a bulldozer or steam-shovel, I can’t really recall. Had the usual overtones about destroying the environment. Anyway I remember really liking it and am now looking for it for my son. Any help will be greatly appreciated. My Google searching efforts have been in vain since I can’t remember the title or author at all.
That sounded really familiar, but I think the book I am thinking of is similar, but not old enough . . . Tidy by Emily Gravett
its called the secret of beaver valley!!
I think I’m SEARCHING for the same book. All I know about it is the beaver (I do believe) gradually transforms into a dozer and moves a giant tree. At the end of the “battle”, the tree is knocked over but the dozer/beaver dies.
But there’s a young tree sprouting from the tree ruins and a beaver in a family is born with larger teeth.
I was young when reading this book so I’m assuming it’s late 70’s early 80’s.
