House & Home

Built by instinct, every detail of an animal's home has a practical purpose. Illustrated cross-sections show inside a beaver’s lodge, a prairie dog village, a wasp nest, and more.

Discover animals from the dinosaurs of long ago to the household pets of today. Learn about mammals, birds, fish, amphibians, and insects. Explore animal communities in the jungle, the arctic, the desert, the ocean, and many other exciting environments.

Take a nostalgic tour of the Colonial Home of the 1600s and 1700s. Get a glimpse of the kitchen, the fireplace, the bedchamber, and outbuildings. Tour a plantation and its slave quarters and find out how metal and bricks were made.

Whether they live in a high-rise apartment in the city or a hundred-year-old stone farmhouse in the country, all children love to read about where people live and how homes are put together.
