A Nest Is Noisy - Dianna Hutts Aston and Sylvia Long (hardcover)

Every time author Dianna Hutts Aston and illustrator Sylvia Long team up, beautiful things happen. “A Nest is Noisy” explores the lives of secretive and social animals that build nests. Mostly birds of course, but did you know that orangutans, prairie dogs, alligators, lampreys, honeybees, and a whole bunch of other creatures build nests too? Each page has at most a paragraph or two of text– short enough to keep the attention of younger children. But you and your little ones will most certainly want to linger on each page, as there is so much detail to observe in Long’s warm and intricate illustrations. 30 pages.
