Follow Bird as she discovers how animals make their homes in this clever creature caper, packed with oodles of facts, and a spoonful of silliness!
Caves, holes, hills, hives, and especially nests—they all make GREAT homes for animals but there are SO many MORE. From snow drifts, webs, and shells to logs, pebbles, and tunnels, and even a hot underwater volcano, follow Bird as she discovers how over 50 different animals make, find, and build their homes in this super-fun collection of awesome animal tales.
Find out whose home is also used as a trip wire, wrapping paper, parachute . . . and submarine?! (Spider!) Or which animal clears a tidy a path to their log-pile house to make it easier for visitors? (Rattlesnake! But watch out, visitors . . . this animal plans to gobble you up!) Whose home has a larder, dining room, and super-slidey escape tunnel?! (Mole!) Plus find out which house ends up being the BEST after all. And guess what? It’s not just birds who make nests as this this little Bird is about to find out!
Children will love discovering all the different kinds of animal homes and which clever creatures made, found, and built them with awesome facts that are easy to remember to make learning about the animal world fun.
