Get Busy Beaver!

Orchard, 2004, illustrated by Janie Bynum.

Thelonious Beaver is a day-dreamer. While his family is busy building a new dam, Thelonious creates something else. What is it, you ask? Well, you'll just have to buy the book now, won't you? (At this point I think you'll all agree that it's a darn good thing I don't write book jacket blurbs.)

My friend Janie Bynum illustrated this. I had her illustrations in mind as I wrote the story, so I was extremely happy when she said she could do it. Aside from Emerson, Thelonious is by far the cutest creature on the face of the planet.

Reviews

“Carolyn Crimi's beaver fable is a standout reminder that
different people ‘work’ in different ways with different
approaches...The perfect book for the little dreamer
in your family who perhaps isn't as industrious as his peers.”
