People want their homes to be comfortable and secure, a place where they can happily raise their children and one day retire. It's no different in the animal world! There are animal architects, animal builders, and even animal squatters -- meet them all in 3-D Close Up: Animal Homes! With four awesome pop-up cross sections, this fascinating new book gives young readers a chance to do in-depth investigations of some dazzling dwellings -- in the trees, in the water, and underground -- and meet the amazing animals that live inside. Kids will love exploring intricate insect cities, squirrels' treetop dreys, a beaver lodge, and the underground burrow of a meerkat family. Every page is bursting with engaging information, cool close-up photographs, and dramatic, highly detailed illustrations that bring the animal homes vividly to life.
