Superb Children's Book

An absoulute beauty! This is more than a children's book, it is art! Wonderful illustrations, and fabulous details about creatures that are fascinating!

for nature lovers

This is a great book. It takes 10 animals (or so) and shows the unique homes that they build. I have two little boys and also teach elementary science to K-5. I have used this book for both "jobs". It is a fun and simple way to give kids a small sampling of the great variety found in nature. My favorite is the bird which sews together leaves to make a nest. Each set of pages has a drawing of the animal and structure and the other page is a paragraph about the animal. I highly recommend it.
