Busy Builders was selected for the 2013 Cook Prize honoring the best
science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) picture book published
for children aged eight to ten.
The tiny creatures in this book are amazing builders. Can you guess
which builder makes separate chambers for nurseries and even trash? Or
which insect's home looks like cotton candy? Or what kind of insect has
ears on its knees? Busy Builders features eight insects, one spider,
and an inside look at the unique structures they each build. Roxie
Munro's striking art, drawn in India ink and colored ink, brings these
remarkable feats of engineering into full focus. A glossary and
resources to learn more are included. If you were a bug, what kind of
home would you build?
