?Dentin the Beaver and other stories? aims to help children in their learning of English whilst instilling moral values. Thus, the tale of the scarecrow who risks his life to save the lives of birds with nowhere to hide, the group of disabled animals who meet up to have a party, or the anthill that is mobilized to save one of their little ants, are included with the mother who miraculously heals wounds or who takes her little son to the dentist to have a lost tooth replaced. In this way, ?Dentin the Beaver? teaches children how to behave in a compassionate way towards their peers and at the same time helps them with what will be their second universal language, the English language.
