A beautiful and fascinating book teaching us about different animals, their homes and how they survive.
A great addition to the classroom.

For animals, a dream home can be a place to lay eggs, raise young, hide from danger or even a place to hibernate. Primarily though, animal or human, we all want to feel safe.
This stunning book highlights twenty animals and their homes. Each double page spread is gloriously illustrated, showing the creature in their habitat and containing a summary of the animal, their home building habits, skills, general information re feeding, hibernation and reproduction plus raising their young. All of the information is presented either within the illustrations or via the story-like text which is written in a narrative style that Sir David Attenborough would be jealous of.
We read it with children age 6-9 and thoroughly enjoyed it.
Thank you to NetGalley and Bloomsbury for sending us this eBook for review consideration. All opinions are our own.

This book is a real delight. The illustrations are lush and colourful. The very simple text explains where a series of animals live. The animals chosen are out of the ordinary, so a child will learn a lot about more unusual, rare and endangered species such as ant eaters, orangutans and leaf tailed geckos. Just beautiful and a great book to talk about with your child when reading and with older children to use as a basis for sparking an interest in carrying out a bit more research into habitats and animals.
