Builders

"This book offers readers exactly what it promises and just might trigger greater interest and curiosity in readers, inspiring them to research and read further on their own. - Sharon the Librarian" Just like people, animals need a place to live. The nine animals in this book are very talented builders and make their own homes! Sometimes it's high in a tree, and sometimes it's hidden under the ground. They use earth, branches, and leaves, or whatever they can find nearby. Each house has its own style, from small and simple to large and complex. 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.
