This entry in the 10-book series explores the science, geography, and physiology that determines how, where, and in what various creatures live. It begins with animals whose body creates their home (shell-dwellers, spiders), then features those who use nests, burrows/dens/holes. Next come homes that humans build and live in. Humorous verse is paired with kid-centered explanations and explorations of buiding basics, different types of homes (igloos, apartments, cabins, suburban-style, etc.), and homes of the future. Each section is topped off with a page of simple activities and kickstarting questions that expand the child"s understanding of that particular section"s, and the overall, subject matter.
