Content
Who builds intricate tunnel systems? What is a beaver lodge made of? What does a weaver bird's nest look like? In this book, kids discover the breadth of animal architecture: from anthills to giant nests and tree hollows to fox dens and gardens on the sea floor. Animals all over the world and in all habitats build curious things to breed in, store food in, or hibernate in. Flaps provide fascinating insights into caves, nests, and other shelters.
