A new dam threatens river life. Can friendship save the day?
Frog and his river friends live peacefully until Beaver arrives with grand plans for a massive dam. As the water stops flowing, their homes are at risk. Despite Frog's warnings, Beaver's ambition blinds him to the consequences. When the diverted water creates chaos, Beaver must learn that friendship is more powerful than any dam. Will he realize the importance of listening before it's too late?
A new neighbor with huge plans turns life upside down for animals who live on the river in a charming ecological fable from Simon James. Frog and his friends live happily together on the river. At least they do until Beaver comes along. Beaver is determined to build the biggest and best dam anyone has ever seen, and he doesn’t stop to think about what that will mean for everyone else’s homes. Frog tries to tell Beaver that his dam is getting too big, but Beaver just won’t listen. Before long, Beaver’s dam is so huge that it stops all the water in the river, and Frog and his friends must move upstream. But diverted water also needs somewhere to go, and soon Beaver will learn that only one force is stronger than a mighty river – friendship.
