A House in the Sky

Turtles, birds, fish, beavers, and kangaroos all need places to live, just as people do. This book introduces the different ways animals shelter themselves and the unusual locations they choose for their homes. A straightforward main text explains similarities between human and animal dwellings, while sidebars provide additional details about each animal and its particular shelter. Watercolor illustrations accompany the exploration of these habitats, showing how varied animal homes can be. The book connects familiar ideas about houses with observations of wildlife and the natural world.
