Bird is a ruby-throated hummingbird who builds her nest with sticks, leaves, grass, mud and … spider webs. Yes, spider webs! Find out why in this super non-fiction book about nests of every kind.
‘A nest is the BEST!’ says bird, but is it?
Join bird as she explores other homes in the natural world. Storks, swans, beavers, woodpeckers all have nests too but are there other ways to protect young creatures?
Discover the many uses for spider webs that persuade Bird to learn more about nests of every kind.
Watch out for the rattlesnake in the log pile little bird!
Along with Bird, learn about termites, moles, badgers and creatures from all over the world like the Greater Bilby, Aardvark and Meerkats.
Underground, in trees, snow, the ocean, which home will Bird think is best?
Saskia Gwinn has included so many creatures in this delightful book that there is surely one of interest to everyone!
Adam Ming’s illustrations are bright, colourful and full of humour. They are guaranteed to get you smiling! There is so much to explore on every page and I am sure this is a book that will have readers pouring over the pictures and examining every detail.
A true celebration of animal homes!
