MY READER'S BLOCK: Bartholomew the Beaver: Mini-Review

SCAM artist alert

Apparently there is someone calling themself "Luigi Calloway" out there who is claiming to be associated with the Mount TBR Reading Challenge. He is contacting authors and telling them if they pay him, then their books will be used for the challenge. It's possible he's also telling people they must pay to participate in any way. Please know that there is absolutely no charge associated in any way with this reading challenge and that this person does NOT represent me or anything associated with my blog. I DO NOT endorse anything that he claims.There will NEVER be a reason for anyone to have to pay for participation in any way for any of my challenges. If only people who exert this much time and effort on scamming people would put it into something worthwhile....like reading their own books! A message to Luigi: Please cease and desist contacting authors (or anyone) in my name or claiming to represent this reading challenge. You absolutely DO NOT.

Bartholomew the Beaver: Mini-Review

This is a very cute children's book about a young beaver who doesn't want to grow up and do all the grown-up beaver things (like building dams, chomping down trees, swimming well under water, using his tail to slap the water and warn of danger) that his parents try to teach him. He just wants to play and have fun. Until one day when he meets up with a wolf and he learns how useful some of those skills can be.

~I collect beavers (figurines, Christmas ornaments, etc.). Any time I see a children's book about beavers I have to get it. I'm still trying to find the one my grandma had at her house when I was little.
