A house in the sky : and other uncommon animal homes

Turtles, birds, fish, beavers, and kangaroos are just like people--they need homes, and take up residence in unusual places. A simple main text introduces similarities between human and animal homes while sidebars detail the unique qualities of each animal and its home. Stylized yet realistic watercolor illustrations prove that nonfiction can be accurate and elegant, and readers of all ages will appreciate this layered narrative.

Animals, like people, often need a cozy place to sleep, a hideaway for escaping danger, or a safe place to raise a family. They need a house.
