Home Makers

By Matt Turner

Book Overview

What bird makes the smallest nest in the world? How big was the largest prairie dog town? Why does a goby share its home with a shrimp? Animals need homes to protect themselves from the weather, to hide from hunters, and to provide a safe nursery for their young. Home Makers explores the rich variety of animal homes to be found around the world, from the seabeds to the mountaintops. Some animals find shelter where they can. Others build enormous homes that completely change the landscape. This book examines some of the amazing building materials animals use, and the skills they have developed to create their homes.
