I Live in a Tree Trunk by Meg Fleming; illustrated by Brandon James Scott

 

This is a cute book exploring animal homes. Students will delight in guessing the animals that peer out of their dwellings, such as a gopher’s mound, a sea otter’s bay, an owl’s nest, etc.... Some animals, like birds and gorillas, share the same name for their dwelling (nest)! Among the animals featured in this book are: farm dwellers (sheep, donkey, horse, llama, chicken, pig, goat), tree dwellers (monkey, sloth, koala, snake), and den dwellers (porcupine, raccoon, fox, skunk, opossum).  For ages 4-8.
