Summary from Book: Will a little mud come between brothers? Glop!
Something is going down on Beaver Island. Ace and Bub notice a number of things (trees, houses, evil penguins) sinking into the ground They soon discover that Captain Jojo and his scurvy crew of mud-making moles have hatched a nearsighted plot to steal dirt from Beaver Island in order to make their own island home even bigger! Each brother is convinced that he alone knows how to stop them. Will their rival plans bury the moles, or sink the entire island forever?
Note: This review is done from memory. I originally read this awhile ago.
Page Pig Thoughts: Cue the fun sound effects, it’s The Flying Beaver Brothers! I am so happy that I enjoy all of the uniquely fun sound effects because some pages are mostly just sound effects. Ace and Bub are always working to save an island from some critter with a plan that doesn’t work for everyone else that lives somewhere. The books are quick paced, full of humor, and cute looking critters. This series is easy to crank through and finish in a good mood. These get Page Pup thumbs up.
Family Unit: Ace and Bub live together
Items of Interest:
- This book in the series was noteworthy because Ace and Bub were having a serious disagreement with one another and were forming their own plans to save the day. Which one saves the day? No one really knows.
- The marmot and his brother don’t necessarily get along. At the end of the story, Ace and Bub are good again. So are the marmots. A brother cheer breaks out.
