The nests of thirteen animals--from the ruby-throated hummingbird to the threespine stickleback fish--are described in singsongy quatrains, followed on the facing page by the titular question and its answer. The verse scans dependably, despite the occasional forced rhyme. Detailed, colorful illustrations of nests, animals, and habitats complement and extend the text, as does the one-page "Fun-Fact Glossary."
