Tree Hole Homes: Daytime Dens and Nighttime Nooks by Melissa Stewart

Have you ever wondered about the animals who make their homes in tree holes? Tree Hole Homes explores the homes of fifteen different animals. 

Thoughts: Tree Hole Homes is a lovely, informative book for even the youngest of readers and listeners. I would definitely share this book in storytime. I would probably only share the larger text and then condense down the facets for my little storytime kids. Amy Hevron's illustrations (acrylic and marker on wood, collaged digitally) are colorful and interesting. My favorite illustration is the owls. The back matter (More about Tree Hole Dwellers, Selected Sources, and More Information about Animal Homes Booklist) provides so many extensions for the book. Visit the author's website here for even more extensions. 

Themes: Animal Homes, Animals
