Beavers Build Lodges

(4) K-3 Animal Builders series. Illustrated by Romina Martí. Raum describes the way each mammal constructs a home, with information on food, mating, and reproduction given in the context of home-building. The texts are engaging but occasionally anthropomorphic; though the cartoony illustrations portray the animals' habitats accurately, photos would have shown readers signs to notice in nature. Includes a habitat map and a building activity. Also available in Spanish. Reading list, websites. Glos. Review covers these Animal Builders titles: Bears Make Dens, Beavers Build Lodges, Orangutans Build Tree Nests, and Rabbits Dig Burrows.
