Reviews

I did the art for this book. I'm happy with the result, but illustration is incredibly time-consuming. I give all my love and appreciation to those who dedicate their lives to illustrating children's books. What a gift and a joy!

A great book for discussing different animal habitats and homes! I could see this working with a toddler or preschool group for storytime. Maybe a theme of "My House" or "My Favorite Place" would tie this in well (or any animal theme, of course)

Cosi loves this. The art, which are paper cutouts, is really nice but seems to lack a vibrancy. And the rhyming seemed a little inept and uneven at times.

[Samantha · Rating 4 out of 5]

Animals that live in a variety of climates are shown in their homes which are described in rhyming text.

Artwork consists of cut-paper collages.

This is a great nature read aloud, for PreK-2.
