Animal Architects, by Amy Cherrix

The illustrations are all in earth tones, very suited to the topic, as the text shares about a variety of animals that are skilled builders, from the Great Barrier Reef to a penguin’s pebble nest to a beaver’s dam, and so on. The examples provide a good mix of familiar and less common. Several pages are given to each example so that there is some depth of detail, including why the animals build what they do. A solid choice.
