Toddler-K–A stunning exploration of animal habitats, this gorgeously illustrated board book invites readers to discover where creatures make their homes. Each spread features a new animal alongside its dwelling, with rhyming couplets that span two pages: “A home can be a busy, buzzy place…/ or be a calm and quiet space.” One spread highlights a close-up watercolor of a bee, paired with a hive buzzing with activity, while the next showcases a frog and a log, hollow where it resides. The muted palette and vivid illustrations beautifully enhance the poetic text, making this an irresistible choice for young readers.
VERDICT A first purchase for libraries and schools alike.
