Nothing quite beats the classics when it comes to books. Their simplicity and charm has me searching for them often, especially to share with my children. Charlie the Tramp is a classic and an adorable story about a young beaver who wants to be a tramp when he grows up, thinking he wouldn’t have to work too hard. Celebrating its 50th Anniversary – this beautiful hardcover edition would make a lovely gift for Christmas.
Charlie the Beaver wants to be a tramp when he grows up. “Tramps don’t have to learn how to chop down trees and how to roll logs and how to build dams. Tramps just tramp around and have a good time. Tramps carry sticks with little bundles tied to them. They sleep in a field when the weather is nice, and when it rains they sleep in a barn.” Charlie sets off with his bundle. But when he hears water trickling, he can’t get to sleep. Will he be able to resist the urge to make it stop? As Grandfather Beaver says, “You never know when a tramp will turn out to be a beaver.”
