(3) K-3 Illustrated by Giles Laroche. The prairie dog in its underground tunnels, termites in their towering nests, beaver dams in lakes, and more. Thirteen accessible rhyming poems playfully describe how animals in various environments build homes to attract mates and protect their young. Double-page spreads feature richly textured, hand-painted cut-paper illustrations of the animals and their abodes. Back matter provides more information on each animal. Reading list.
