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.</i>--<i><b>School Library Journal</b></i><br><br><i>There are fun facts and lifting flaps galore in this lively compendium, with entire pages that unfold to reveal a bunny warren and a beehive, the many animals living in one tree and the wonders of a coral reef. Paired with Tim Hutchinson's illuminating illustrations are brief discussions of everything from a naked mole rat's burrow to the nearly five-foot wide nest of a European white stork. Readers also learn about some extreme builders, like two orb spiders who traveled to the International Space Station. This nicely laid out book will engage a variety of ages and interests.</i>--<i><b>Bookpage</b></i><br>
