National Geographic Kids: Animal Architects book cover
Why do beavers build dams?  And how do spiders weave their webs?  This book will show you birds, insects, and mammals that all share a special skill!
By: Libby Romero

Discovery Questions

  • Which one of these animal architects did you find the most fascinating? Why? Talk about it with a parent.

  • Research the Sociable Weaver birds of South Africa. The nests they build are like apartment buildings. What are they like inside that mass of straw and grass? Draw a picture of their nests.
