This is a book for anyone interested in the homes animals make for themselves. There are plenty of bird's nests, but also a number of other animals that we don't normally think of as builders. The photographs of animal creations are stunning, and I was awed by the skill of some of these little creators working without hands. You will find yourself going back again to this book to have another look. Imagine fields full of flat, eight or more feet tall termite towers, all oriented the same way, so that their narrow edges face the sun at midday. Or little Caddis fly larvae making small tubes for themselves to live in safely, and almost invisibly, out of whatever they can find in their underwater environment.
Incidentally, children love this book.
