(4) K-3 Animal Builders series. Illustrated by Romina Martí. Raum describes how five different species build their nests with emphasis on the reason all birds build nests: to keep eggs safe. The text is engaging but occasionally anthropomorphic; though the cartoony illustrations portray the animals accurately, photos would help readers better understand the nests' complexity. Includes a habitat map and a nest-building activity. Also available in Spanish. Reading list, websites. Glos.
