(2) PS Walsh's fourth question-and-answer picture book sticks with her clever tried-and-true formula, this time introducing animal homes. Such silly queries as "Do crocodiles live in shells?" invite enthusiastic choruses of "NO!" and set up the answers ("No, but snails do"). Assisted by the crowd-pleasing and funny color-saturated illustrations, listeners can hazard a guess before the page turn; the following spread reveals the answer.
