한 편의 시와 같이 간결하면서도 아름다운 문장들과, 사실적이면서도 생동감 넘치는 그림들을 통해, 숲 속의 여러 동물들이 새끼와 가족들을 위해 각자 특색이 있으면서도 안전하고 아늑한 집을 짓는 모습들을 보여줍니다.

숲 속 깊이 들어가서 유심히 관찰을 해보면 흙무더기 둔덕 아래서, 물 속에서, 땅 속에서 다리 아래서, 풀 숲 속에서, 언덕 높은 곳에서... 수많은 동물들의 각자 자신만의 특성을 살린 다양한 종류의 집들을 발견할 수 있습니다.

여우는 땅 속에 굴을 파서 집을 짓고,
비버는 나뭇가지들을 모아 댐을 만들고,
두더쥐는 땅 속을 깊숙이 파내려가고,
꿀벌은 파라핀으로 육각형모양의 방들을 이어서 벌집을 만들고,
사슴은 나뭇가지들을 긁어 모으고,
독수리는 나뭇가지들을 모아서 둥지를 만들고,
작은 거북은 나뭇잎들을 침대 삼아 잠이 들고,
올빼미는 나무 중간에 뚫려 있는 커다란 구멍이 집이 됩니다.

동물들은 자신의 집에서 새끼를 낳거나 알을 부화하고,
그곳에서 새끼들이 자랄 때까지 보살피고 가르치고 키웁니다.
새끼는 어미와 가족들의 보살핌 속에서 장난치며 놀기도 하고, 생존방법을 배우기도 하면서 성장합니다. 그리고 밤이 되면 새끼들은 따뜻하고 안전한 엄마 품 속에서 잠이 듭니다...

What is 하드커버? 양장본이라고도 불리우며, 표지가 단단한 판지로 만들어진 책입니다. 판지를 천이나 가죽으로 감싸기도 합니다. 책의 속지는 일반적으로 중성처리된 종이(Acid-free paper)를 사용해서 잘 변질이 되지 않기 때문에 오랫동안 보관하기에 적합합니다. 이 종류의 책은 더스트 재킷, 또는 더스트 커버로 불리는 표지덮개가 함께 있는 경우가 많습니다. 간혹 내부 속지가 콩기름 코팅이 된 경우 고약한 냄새가 나는 책도 있습니다.

하드커버책입니다.

Book Description
This vibrantly illustrated picture book celebrates a variety of woodland creatures as they make their homes and prepare for their young.
Welcome to a serene woodland where lots of expectant animal parents are in their "nesting" phase--that is, busy preparing safe, cozy homes for their growing families. As they dig, tunnel, gnaw, and gather, they create dens, burrows, lodges, and, of course, nests. Soon the woods are full of new little ones peeping, crawling, romping, and snuggling--and with artwork so gorgeous that it feels like an invitation into the scenery it's depicting, readers will be eager to join them in their beautiful home.


School Library Journal
While Bajaj's This Is Our Baby, Born Today followed the birth of one elephant, this new offering explores how an array of woodland animals build safe habitats for their babies. Owls, tortoises, ants, foxes, bees, and many other critters make their homes in trees, grass, on ridges, in the water, and underground. Mulazzani uses acrylic colored pencils and collage on paper to create expansive illustrations with pink sky tones, giving readers a sense of calm. Soft dark blue night skies, sparkling with stars, and sleeping animals complete this vision of serenity. The illustrations suggest, rather than attempt a factual representation. A honeycomb-shaped intersection of a beehive appears to be floating in mid-air, but careful inspection will lead to discovery of an attached beehive under a bridge earlier in the book. While sometimes the text and pictures do not entirely connect, the overall impression is that of poetic narrative, interpreted artistically by the illustrator. Simple elegant rhyming words lead readers to learn the names for each animal baby, but not the adult counterpart, suggesting that this picture book is not meant to instruct but rather encourage little ones to immerse themselves in the lush experience. By using the pictures to fill in the missing details, adults and children can explore and interact, creating a conversation prompted each discovery. VERDICT A recommended purchase for large collections seeking gentle nighttime reads about animals, babies, and habitats.


Kirkus Reviews
“What will young readers encounter in the peaceful landscape of this picture book? Lush, full-bleed double-page spreads... simple poetic text... Whether children are listening in a group or as individuals at home, they will enjoy this book.”

Horn Book
“Invites children to observe nature for themselves as a variety of creatures busily create their homes... Bajaj’s text is simple, specific, and active, reflecting the hard work of each type of creature to stay alive... Mulazzani’s mixed-media illustrations use soft colors and have a generally cozy feel, yet their clarity and precision allow viewers to spot even the smallest insects on the pages. Children can follow their favorite animal throughout and may come away with the (possibly) new idea that the animals they see outside must work to provide homes for their families, too.”


Booklist
“Seemingly simple but quietly effective... works equally well as a source for early elementary curriculum support and as a calming bedtime story... The accessible language effortlessly introduces new vocabulary and the drawings provide lots of little details while their muted tones evoke feelings of safety and serenity. This is a lovely introduction to how animals survive outdoors, and a good way to encourage conversation, whether comparing and contrasting types of forest dwellings during story hour, or chatting about how critters manage to stay warm and dry as they snuggle down to sleep.”
