From the author and illustrator of the popular I Would Tuck You In, this endearing picture book introduces young children to the homes of a variety of animals.

Explore the many ways that animals create a habitat for their young in this charming picture book, filled with baby animals and their parents.

A polar bear carves out a den in a snowbank to keep its cub warm. A tufted puffin digs out a burrow to shelter its young on a cliff near the sea. A lynx makes a shelter under a fallen tree to snuggle with its kitten. Young children will learn all about these animals and more, as each spread also includes a short piece of nonfiction about each creature.

Lovingly illustrated and lyrically written, this is the second children's book written and illustrated by the husband-and-wife artist and author team Mitchell Watley and Sarah Asper-Smith.
