Illustrated by
Kay Chorao.
A little boy ponders all the animal homes that are well suited to their owners but don't work for humans. Chorao's childlike illustrations, of the boy tangled in the sticks of a beaver home and huddled on the branches of a sycamore tree, are quite humorous. The text nicely incorporates facts about nature, but with its awkward rhymes it is not as strong as the art.
