Poems about creatures that build

1 v. (unpaged) : col. ill. ; 27 cm.

Creatures that build -- Builders underground -- Black-tailed prairie dog -- Star-nosed mole -- California trap door spider -- Builders on land -- Termite -- Yellow garden spider -- Builders in water -- Three-spined stickleback fish -- Beaver -- White-spotted pufferfish -- Builders in air -- Red-oven bird -- White stork -- European paper wasps.

Many animals build remarkable structures in order to attract mates, lay eggs, give birth, and otherwise perpetuate their species. Twelve animals are presented in four sections based on where they live--underground, in the water, on the land, or in the air. Fish, insects, reptiles, mammals, and birds are included in poems and artwork that to bring these animals to life for kids.
