Synopsis

A study of animal architects. In the rainforests of eastern Australia the male satin bowerbird builds an exotic love nest to attract his mate. In Africa, cubiterme termites build columns capped with umbrella-shaped roofs to keep off the rain. The North American bowl-and-doily spider spins an intricate double web trap to catch its prey...All over the world and for a variety of purposes, birds, beasts, fish and insects are busy building. In colour pictures, each with a brief explanation, this book depicts some of the most inventive and intriguing of these animal architects and their buildings. Bert Kitchen has won the International Graphic Prize, Fiera di Bologna for "Animal Numbers", and also illustrated "Animal Alphabet", "Mythical Creatures", "Tenrec's Twigs", "Pig in a Barrow", "Somewhere Today" and "When Hunger Calls".
