A poetry collection introducing animal architects that build remarkable structures in order to attract a mate and have babies.
Many animals build something--a nest, tunnel, or web--in order to pair up, lay eggs, give birth, and otherwise perpetuate their species. Organized based on where creatures live--underground, in the water, on land, or in the air--twelve poems bring fish, insects, reptiles, mammals, and birds to life. Back matter includes more information about each animal.

Creatures That Build
For thousands of years people have built shelters to live in and protect their families. We use wood, cloth, brick, concrete, steel, glass, and more to create safe and unique homes. Many animlas are builders, too. They use materials they can find, such as dirt, leaves, grass, twigs, tree limbs, shells, fur, hair, clay, and sand.
Some make their own building materials. Spiders spin their own thread. Stickleback fish make their own glue. Paper wasps make their own paper. Some animals live in their structures and some don't, and they all need a place to start a family. Turn the page to meet some of nature's most interesting architects adn learn how they build!
