A Place to Start a Family: Poems about Creatures That Build

This poetry collection introduces animals that construct places for attracting mates and raising young. The creatures make structures such as nests, tunnels, and webs as part of laying eggs, giving birth, and continuing their species. Twelve poems feature fish, insects, reptiles, mammals, and birds. The collection is arranged by habitat, moving among animals that live underground, in water, on land, and in the air.
