There are animals that prefer to live alone and others that live in groups. Animals build nests, dig tunnels, build roads and dams, and webs. Discover the amazing beaver, cross spider, sociable weaver, termite, stork, meerkat, honeybee, Japanese pufferfish, and mole. See who these special builders are! This is the first book in the Super Animals series, beautifully illustrated nonfiction about special animals.
