Review
How do animals build their homes? The answer is revealed in its grand and impressive variety through a number of well-illustrated foldout pages and lift-the-flap features that show animal homes above ground, below ground, underwater, and even in human homes and farmyard barns. The colorful images are clearly labeled and the descriptive text will enhance readers' knowledge...The generous volume of detail will help kids understand the author's reference to animals as "building geniuses."...A delight to browse through and even better for a close-up examination, this book is an excellent choice for nonfiction library collections and for classroom units on animals. It is also a useful mentor text for showing how information can be presented by successfully combining words and illustration.-- "School Library Journal" (9/1/2017 12:00:00 AM)
