(3) K-3 Illustrated by Chris Madden. In appealingly unusual first-person-plural voices, twenty-six different animals--including birds, bugs, reptiles, and mammals--present their distinctive home-building techniques ("We are the polar bears. The hidden-under-snow bears"). The rhythmic and informative text is formatted like poetry, while full-spread scene-setting illustrations depict each species comfortably at home--whether they be weaver ants, aardvarks, or even humans. Appended with a world map and "Builders' Fact File."
