Once again Phil Vischer, creator of VeggieTales, proves that the truth of God's Word addresses life in a captivating and life-transforming way. Using a catchy rhythm in verse, Vischer uses gentle, even delightful, humor to teach the lesson that working together can bring much better success than trying to solve problems alone.

Individuals familiar with the kinds of lessons Vischer and his comrades have taught for well over a decade through his amazing vegetables will not be disappointed by all 47 beavers adrift at sea.

Grandparents need to buy this book so they can share it with their grandkids. Parents need to add this book to their children's library. Churches need to include this book in the resources for their Christian Education hour.

A product of Vischer's new venture, Jellyfish Labs, this book holds a promise for increasingly more exciting and creative offerings to come. The CD included with this book has many super extras.

I cannot recommend this book more highly. I chuckled all the way through the story. And, I found the memorable lines of the poem rebounding the message of the book over and over again.

Brand new from Phil Vischer, creator of VeggieTales, comes 47 Beavers on the Big, Blue Sea. Illustrated by Jared Chapman, this hardback book is filled with fresh colors and expressive characters. The book is introduced by Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 which state "Two are better than one..." The author states "Forty-seven are even better than two." Beginning with a fellow named Trapper Stu, the story tells of forty-seven beavers who discover working together is best. Readers follow these persistent beavers as they encounter various trials. Being stuck on the big, blue sea without any oars and facing down a hungry shark is just the beginning. How can they overcome their troubles? The author concludes the story with a personal application: "...we've been blessed, and things go best when we all work together!" Included with the book is a CD offering a musical version of the story.

The rhyming is great and introduces new vocabulary in easy-to-learn settings. The illustrations are bright, perfect for preschoolers. I like that the book teaches more than just working together. It does a wondeful job there, but it also teaches perseverance and optimism. Some of the beavers complain, but the leader is always positive and encouraging. My kids love the CD! It's a fun tune, easy to replicate.

Tanya from Christian Children's Book Review

This book has easy repetition for pre-schoolers. The art work is colorful and attractive for early readers and pre-readers.

47 Beavers is an incredible book! It comes with a soundtrack that isn't annoying like a lot of kids songs typically are. The book is fun to read and has a great message for kids (and adults!) I highly reccomend investing in this book! You won't regret it!

This book has a great message about working together. I love the rhyming aspect of it - makes it really fun to read. The CD read-along is great and the song is kind of catchy! I also love the fact that it is about beavers as it is such an adorable animal. A book for any age to enjoy!

My 25 year old son had this on his wish list so I gave it to him for
Christmas. He says that its a great book to read. His wife had gotten it to take to read to her kids in Sudan Africa and he read it first and almost didnt let her take it because he loved it so much.

I am a Mommy of six "Blessings" my oldest is eight years old and they all love this story! Every person at one time or another experiences feelings of being "trapped," "facing sharks and nasty weather," "or stranded"...but as the story reads, "we have been Blessed and things go best when we all work together!" In sum, it is teaching my children the priceless lessons of counting your blessings (at all times), teamwork, and most importantly to look at how Awesome is our God instead of our circumstances....He will never leave you stranded!

My children ages 5 and 4 love this book. Ours came with a sing-along CD inside and they have me read it first then listen to the CD and follow along with the story. Phil Vischer has quite an amazing imagination. A wonderful book and so out of the ordinary. Would definetly recommend.

This book is the best little kid book i have ever read! It is full of adventure, and it makes me smile everytime i look at it=)

This book is fun! The music CD that comes with it will have you and your kids singing silly songs from Phil all over again. We love the book...parents and kids!
