Caldecott Honor recipient Steve Jenkins shines as the author of this
amusing and thorough introduction to animal homes.
Turtles, birds, fish, beavers, and kangaroos are just like people--they
need homes, and take up residence in unusual places. A simple main text
introduces similarities between human and animal homes while sidebars
detail the unique qualities of each animal and its home. Stylized yet
realistic watercolor illustrations prove that nonfiction can be accurate
and elegant, and readers of all ages will appreciate this layered
narrative.
