Vermakelijk boek over hoe een bever de wereld over reist， op zoek naar zijn huis。 Mijn zoontje （4） vond het erg interessant allemaal， ook zonder het verhaal te lezen kun je een heel verhaal bedenken bij de prenten。

Enables children to explore the habitats of animals other than beavers。 The book visual illustration is quite attractive to kids。

What a lovely book。 I loved looking at all the details in the homes of each creature！

The third star is for the intricate， beautiful illustrations。 The story is lacking， but I guess the focus is on educating kids about how different animals live around the world。

First of all the illustrations are beautiful！ They will create lots of talking points with children as you or they are reading the story。 I love that there aren't too many words on each page and it's kept short and sweet。 The poetry is also lovely and without realising it the children who read this will learn a lot about animals' natural habitats。 I would definitely buy this book for my son。 First of all the illustrations are beautiful！ They will create lots of talking points with children as you or they are reading the story。 I love that there aren't too many words on each page and it's kept short and sweet。 The poetry is also lovely and without realising it the children who read this will learn a lot about animals' natural habitats。 I would definitely buy this book for my son。 。。。more

Welcome Home Beaver is an adventure story and wonderfully illustrated。 As Beaver searches for his home there are clear pictures depicting various animals and their habitats。 The rhyming pose makes this fun to read。Thanks to Netgalley for a copy of this book。 It would be one I would purchase verses reading from an iPad。

This was a cute book about a beaver that leaves home only to realize that he doesn't know how to return。 The illustrations and text follow him as he passes by all sorts of other animals and their dwellings in search of his home。This was a very simple yet adorable book。 The images are very detailed and I think parents and young readers will love this book for a few reasons。 The book teaches readers about different types of animal dwellings while beaver is looking for his home。 It is presented as This was a cute book about a beaver that leaves home only to realize that he doesn't know how to return。 The illustrations and text follow him as he passes by all sorts of other animals and their dwellings in search of his home。This was a very simple yet adorable book。 The images are very detailed and I think parents and young readers will love this book for a few reasons。 The book teaches readers about different types of animal dwellings while beaver is looking for his home。 It is presented as questions and answers， so that not only do you see the image but you learn about how the homes is built。 Readers will learn who the homes belong to and some of the features of those homes。The illustrations are wonderfully done， 2-page spreads and have so many fun things to look at for those listening to the story and reading it。 The details are what make this book stand out。 They help the story along very well。Overall I think that this is a fun book for both young readers and parents， and I think that you have to see it in order to appreciate all of its beauty。 。。。more

I received this book from Netgalley in exchange of an honest review。Welp， this one sounded better than it actually was。 I thought the adventure would last a bit longer than 1 page。 Really， just 1 page。 :\ He probably travelled pretty far， but it would have been nice if we， the readers， would have seen that。Next up is Akita who is going to help Beaver and does an outstanding terrible job at it。 Does Akita really think that that Beaver lives in a cave underwater （fully submerged） or lives in mouse I received this book from Netgalley in exchange of an honest review。Welp， this one sounded better than it actually was。 I thought the adventure would last a bit longer than 1 page。 Really， just 1 page。 :\ He probably travelled pretty far， but it would have been nice if we， the readers， would have seen that。Next up is Akita who is going to help Beaver and does an outstanding terrible job at it。 Does Akita really think that that Beaver lives in a cave underwater （fully submerged） or lives in mouse houses？ Then again， given the proportions and that they aren’t that good at times， I can slightly imagine that Akita may confuse the Beaver for some other creature。 :P But still。 Akita isn’t smart。Sometimes repetition works。 But in this one？ Especially combined with the stupidity of Akita？ No。 It didn’t work， and I was just flicking through the book on my tablet， feeling bored。The ending was， of course， no surprise。 The title spoils it already， plus it is a children’s book， they generally go for the good/happy endings。There is a lot going on in the pictures， at times a bit too much taking away the focus of the “story”。So yeah， I am disappointed， when I spotted this book on Netgalley I was really hoping it would be a great picture book。Review first posted at https://twirlingbookprincess。com/ 。。。more

I was really impressed with this book about Beaver having lost his way and trying to find his home。 The illustrations are absolutely fantastic！ They are so incredibly detailed， that you just know that every time you open this book to read it， there'll be something new to discover。 In each page there is so much going on that I'm sure little eyes will be pointing out something different every time。 It also has a great educational aspect， showing the different habitats of different animals across t I was really impressed with this book about Beaver having lost his way and trying to find his home。 The illustrations are absolutely fantastic！ They are so incredibly detailed， that you just know that every time you open this book to read it， there'll be something new to discover。 In each page there is so much going on that I'm sure little eyes will be pointing out something different every time。 It also has a great educational aspect， showing the different habitats of different animals across the world， with a map at the end of the book which shows where the animals originate。 The only downside is the very small text， which I found difficult to read and I'd imagine other people would too。 。。。more

The illustrations are very detailed and engagingly fanciful。 Unfortunately， my Kindle doesn’t have a color screen， but I’m sure they are even better in full color。 The story line was a bit flat。 I’m not sure why he’s looking for his house up in trees and like places， or how he met Akita the Adventure Dog， but it might work for young children。 I received this as a free ARC through NetGalley。

Thank you Net Galley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review。I loved the charming illustrations in "Welcome Home， Beaver"。 Each page had so many fun places to explore。 Beaver goes on an adventure around the world with the aid of his friend Akita Dog。 I was happy to see the map of the world with the markings of where they had been。 Thank you Net Galley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review。I loved the charming illustrations in "Welcome Home， Beaver"。 Each page had so many fun places to explore。 Beaver goes on an adventure around the world with the aid of his friend Akita Dog。 I was happy to see the map of the world with the markings of where they had been。 。。。more

A lost beaver travels the world meeting different animals that live in different homes before finally finding his way home。 The book would be appropriate for both geographical and environmental lesson。 The detail pictures could be used for an ”I Spy” exercise。I received this book through Net Galley。 Although encouraged as a courtesy to provide feedback to the publisher， I was under no obligation to write a review。 The opinions I have expressed are my own。

3 stars | This was a cute picture book :） I feel like the same story has been done many times， but the illustrations are beautiful in their simplicity， and children will have no problem coming up with their own stories as there are so many little characters filling up the pages。 I absolutely adored that a little map was added at the end。 It really gives this book a little something more！

This was an interesting and successful way to look at where animals live。 Beaver traveled down the river too far and needs to find his way home。 Akita the traveling dog and his hot air balloon are there to help。 Akita points out various types of homes while Beavers tells him who lives there。 Plus at the end， there is map of their travels。 A lovely book to add to any collection。

Beaver goes off exploring， but then gets concerned that he won't be able to find his way home。 Akita， the hot air balloon adventurer， helps Beaver find his way home， circumnavigating the globe and checking in on a variety of animal houses along the way。Each stop is a full， two page spread， illustrated in a colorful， "Where's Waldo？" search-and-find style。 There are an abundance of scenes to look at within each landscape and I loved taking the time to slowly peruse each scene， finding all of the Beaver goes off exploring， but then gets concerned that he won't be able to find his way home。 Akita， the hot air balloon adventurer， helps Beaver find his way home， circumnavigating the globe and checking in on a variety of animal houses along the way。Each stop is a full， two page spread， illustrated in a colorful， "Where's Waldo？" search-and-find style。 There are an abundance of scenes to look at within each landscape and I loved taking the time to slowly peruse each scene， finding all of the small animals and illustrations of daily life。 The map at the end highlights where in the world each "house" is located。The prose itself， written in short， rhyming couplets， wasn't terribly captivating; however， it introduces each of the scenes， stating what animal lives there， and then lets the picture tell the rest of the story。It's subtly educational， allowing kids to see the wide variety of dwellings and landscapes that animals live in， from tunnels and ice caves to honeycombs and nests。 It will surely spark some interest in finding out more about some of the habitats that animals make for themselves。Thank you to NetGalley for providing me with a free copy to review！（Cross posted on my blog。） 。。。more
