This companion to the celebrated Mama Built a Little Nest explores the many different kinds of dens animals build for their babies.

Perhaps you’ll come across a den,
dark and deep and wide.
And it will make you wonder…
Who or what might be inside!

There are so many different kinds of dens that mother animals make for their babies, from desert burrows to snow caves to elaborate underground tunnels. Jennifer Ward introduces young readers to all sorts of animals and the cozy burrows they call home in this bouncy, rhyming picture book, illustrated by Caldecott Honoree Steve Jenkins.

This book visits 12 animals who dig dens for winter, birthing babies, protection against the elements, predators, to lay eggs, hibernaculum of toads, and more. There is back matter and side bars explaining details of different animals. Good source of animal information and illustrations for each.

Reviewed in the United States on January 26, 2021
My toddler and I love this book, which can be read in any order depending on what animal your child wants to look at! A great book for snuggling with a tiny kid, or for older kids, to enjoy as they learn about animals at home or in school.
