Others build them out of stones (young caddis flies carry their pebbly homes wherever they go). And some--like edible-nest swiftlets--craft houses out of spit! Many animals have homes, but not all animal homes are the same. From honeybees with neat, precise hives to pack rats with messy nests, from prairie dogs whose underground towns last for decades to orangutans who make a new home every day, the range of dwellings depicted here shows how much animals' behavior can vary, even in their own homes. Melding a simple narration with more detailed facts on such animals as beavers, spiders, polar bears, termites, and reindeer, this appealing picture book also offers a brief note on animals and their homes in the back matter.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMartin Jenkins \u003c\/b\u003eis a conservation biologist and the award-winning author of many books for children, including \u003ci\u003eThe Emperor's Egg\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003eillustrated by Jane Chapman; \u003ci\u003eA World of Plants\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003eillustrated by James Brown; and \u003ci\u003eUnder Threat: An Album of Endangered Animals\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003eillustrated by Tom Frost\u003ci\u003e.\u003c\/i\u003e Martin Jenkins lives in Cambridge, England. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eJane McGuinness\u003c\/b\u003e received an MA in children's book illustration from the Cambridge School of Art in England.
