In this stunning pop-up book, meet seven animal builders and see how their unique skills help them survive—and to live together in harmony in theneighborwood.
At the edge of the forest a spider spins her web, while nearby, a hummingbird uses strands of spider silk to build her nest. These are just two of the many animals who live side by side, sharing the resources they need to construct homes, traps, or places to store food. From award-winning artist Shawn Sheehy comes an up-close look at the architectural masterpieces of the animal world, featuring an array of beautiful, lifelike pop-ups originally crafted with handmade paper. The earthy exploration culminates in a breathtaking final spread showing all the neighborwood creatures together.

By Anne Young
This book is wonderful, a must-have for anyone who appreciates the beauty and texture of our interconnected world and speaks the language of children. The art in this book is phenomenal, and the text speaks to the ecosystems around us in child-friendly language that is not "dumbed down" like so much of what is written for kids. Amazing!

Amazingly beautiful! This one stays at Nana and Grampa's house as it could be ripped to shreds by little hands. I don't know how these can be produced at such a reasonable price. A work of art for ANY nature lover, young and old alike.
