Animal Houses

Life out There

Rosi and Leo are a great team of explorers! They help Astrid, the isopod, to find her way back to her rock. On the way, the clever creepy-crawly chats about the finer points of animal dwellings: from busy beehives, nests at lofty heights or burrows under the ground. The two children discover what it's like to carry their house around with them, weave a nest out of blades of grass or build a beaver's lodge. The clear text and warm-hearted illustrations make you want to go outside and serve as visual guides for little experiments.
