Sign in to write a reviewThis is a 'read cold' book. Parents might want to check the flaps beforehand to ensure they are pre-bent for easy opening by small fingers. A parent might pick this up after their child points out a bird's nest in a tree or asks, 'Where does the squirrel sleep?'
Two-year-olds will enjoy the tactile flap-lifting and naming the animals. Four-year-olds will engage more with the rhyming clues, treating the book as a science-based logic puzzle.
Unlike many animal home books that focus strictly on biology, this one uses rhythmic, lyrical prose that emphasizes the emotional concept of 'best' and 'belonging,' making it feel like a bedtime story as much as a science book.
A series of rhyming riddles invites the reader to identify various animal nests and homes. Each page features a lift-the-flap mechanism that reveals the inhabitant of the nest, ranging from birds and squirrels to insects.
