The Flying Beaver Brothers Books

In order from The Flying Beaver Brothers and the Evil Penguin Plan to The Flying Beaver Brothers and the Crazy Critter Race.

Ace loves action while his brother Bub would rather nap, but both step up when Beaver Island is threatened. Six young graphic novels pit the brothers against ridiculous animal schemes involving frozen beaches, factories, stolen land, feuds, melting snow, and a chaotic race.

For parents

What Parents Should Know

The books combine quick panels, brotherly banter, and goofy villains with accessible environmental ideas. Forest loss, pollution, habitat damage, and community conflict are simplified into comic rescue missions rather than presented as lessons.

Adventures include chases, crashes, fights, kidnappings, villain threats, and slapstick peril around volcanoes, machines, and extreme sports. The action stays cartoonish, and cooperation matters more than anyone getting hurt.
