Life on Happy Pond describes how often times we, as people, are so busy trying to maintain a certain lifestyle that we fail to take time out to enjoy each other and the beautiful things that God has given us. Our youth watch us and follow the same path. In Beaver's case, by being so busy, he actually puts himself and those around him in harm's way. In Roland Hansen's LIFE ON HAPPY POND, life is not so happy -- or it doesn't seem to be at first. Buzzy the beaver is chopping down trees all around the pond, and Princess Purdy Birdy, the beautiful swan, is not happy about it at all. Before she and Buzzy can settle their differences, things get unhappier with the arrival of the sly old fox who likes nothing better than a beaver dinner -- unless it's a SWAN dinner. You'll have to read the story to find out how life on Happy Pond gets happy again. Anthony Ambrogio, Editor
