What happens when you build something with your own two hands?

Chip the Beaver has a dream. He wants to build a dam across the stream so clean, cool water flows for everyone on Founders' Farm. Nobody asks him to do it. He just makes a plan, picks up the first log, and gets to work.

But when the pond finally fills and the water runs clear, a smooth-talking weasel named Slyford shows up with a very different idea about who the pond really belongs to.

Chip Builds a Dam is the first book in the Founders' Farm series, a collection of classic animal fables for young children that brings timeless American values to life through warm, simple storytelling and characters kids will love from the very first page.

In this book your child will discover:

• Why hard work is something to be proud of
• What it means to own something you built yourself
• The difference between sharing freely and being forced to share
• Why generosity means so much more when it comes from the heart
• How one small beaver's big dream made life better for everyone around him

Perfect for:

• Bedtime reading for children ages 3 to 8
• Parents and grandparents who want to pass on timeless values
• Homeschool families looking for character-building read-alouds
• Classrooms and libraries seeking wholesome American values books for kids
• Families who loved The Tuttle Twins and are looking for their next favorite series

Because the best values are not just read. They are talked about, lived out, and passed down.
