A peek-through board book with elaborate die-cuts on each page showing a tree and its many inhabitants throughout the four seasons. Through a hole in the book's cover, an owl invites you inside to meet a majestic tree and all its forest inhabitants during the changing seasons. With clever die-cuts throughout, each sturdy page reveals a new set of animals playing and living in the tree--baby bears frolicking in the spring, bees buzzing around apples in the summer, squirrels storing nuts in the fall, and finally the lone owl keeping warm during the winter chill, until another year begins. . . . Children will love seeing a new set of animals appear as each page is turned, and along the way they'll learn about the seasons and how a forest and its inhabitants change throughout the year.

"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.
