2⭐️ This book was originally published in 1966. It wasn‘t updated and is the worse for it. It‘s about a little beaver who does not want to be a big beaver when he grows up. He wants to be a tramp. In 2018 tramp means various things. One is long term homeless. This feels like an affront to real homelessness. It makes play out of a series situation. It doesn‘t offer empathy, but rather explains it as a lifestyle choice.

MsLeah8417 Was the book re-released? I am confused by your saying it wasn‘t updated. 7y
LibrarianRyan @MsLeah8417 it is being re-released. I had to take that out of my full review to make word count. 7y

LibrarianRyan @MsLeah8417 I can not get the link to work. I just looked at the galley age. Apparently it was re-released oct 3, 2016. It won awards in 1968. But to me it just did not age well. 7y
MsLeah8417 @librarianryan Understood. Thanks for sharing. 7y
