Charlie the Beaver wants to be a tramp when he grows up. “Tramps don’t have to learn how to chop down trees and how to roll logs and how to build dams. Tramps just tramp around and have a good time. Tramps carry sticks with little bundles tied to them. They sleep in a field when the weather is nice, and when it rains they sleep in a barn.” Charlie sets off with his bundle. But when he hears water trickling, he can’t get to sleep. Will he be able to resist the urge to make it stop? As Grandfather Beaver says, “You never know when a tramp will turn out to be a beaver.”

She learned to draw still life and began to write her own stories only after having children (Phoebe, Brom, Esme and Julia), and based her tales on their experiences.
Here is what I thought. ....
This is such a great kids book. I know my children will love it. I love how they stayed with the original art work. This will make an excellent gift. I love old stories like this one. They are simple and well written and have a great message for kids. This classic story is a wonderful addition to entry child's library. I am so pleased to have been able to read this story and can't wait to share it with my kids. I received this book from FlyBy for free. A positive review was not required. All opinions are my own.
