A Note to Parents
DK READERS is a compelling program for beginning
readers, designed in conjunction with leading literacy
experts, including Dr. Linda Gambrell, Professor of
Education at Clemson University. Dr. Gambrell has
served as President of the National Reading Conference
and the College Reading Association, and has recently
been elected to serve as President of the International
Reading Association.
Beautiful illustrations and superb full-color
photographs combine with engaging, easy-to-read stories
to offer a fresh approach to each subject in the series.
Each DK READER is guaranteed to capture a child’s
interest while developing his or her reading skills,
general knowledge, and love of reading.
The five levels of DK READERS are aimed at different
reading abilities, enabling you to choose the books that
are exactly right for your child:
Pre-level 1: Learning to read
Level 1: Beginning to read
Level 2: Beginning to read alone
Level 3: Reading alone
Level 4: Proficient readers
The “normal” age at which a child begins to read can be
anywhere from three to eight years old. Adult participation
through the lower levels is very helpful for providing
encouragement, discussing storylines, and sounding out
unfamiliar words.
No matter which level you select, you
can be sure that you are helping your
child learn to read, then read to learn!

What is your home like?
Is it cozy and dry?
Animal homes are all shapes
and sizes.
They keep animals and
their babies safe and warm.

their own homes.
Many birds make nests.
Some use mud, twigs, or grass.

Others peck out holes in trees.
They build their homes using
only their beaks.

Thousands of termites work
together to build a home.
Their mound is very strong
and it can be very tall.
�
Inside, the tunnels lead to many
arch-shaped rooms.

Paper wasps collect wood
and chew it into a pulp.
The wasps then use this pulp
to make their nest.
The queen
wasp lays
her eggs inside
the nest’s
six-sided cells.

13
Some animals burrow
under the ground.
Moles dig their tunnels using
their sharp front claws.
They push the soil away,
making hills above the ground.
They eat the worms and insects
that fall into their tunnels.
14
Beavers build their homes
by weaving sticks together
with their feet.
Their large homes are
called lodges.
The beavers get in and
out of the lodge through
an underwater entrance.

Some animals live in shells.
Tortoises and snails can
curl up inside their shells.
The shells get bigger as
the animals grow.

Some insects, like silk moths,
make their own silk threads.
They weave the silk around
themselves to make cocoons.
Their homes keep them safe
as they change shape and
grow wings.

20
Spiders can make silk, too.
They use it to make their homes.
Some spiders make webs.
They eat the insects that get
stuck to the strong, sticky silk.
Other spiders build silk-lined
burrows with a hidden trapdoor.

Honeybees make beeswax
in their bodies.
They use it to make
their beehive.
23
There are many six-sided cells
inside the hive.
Honey is stored in some cells.
The bees’ young live in others.

24
Piles of leaves, rotting logs,
and compost heaps may not
seem like good places
to make a home.

beetle
25
But many small animals feed and
live in these warm, damp places.
toad
ant
26
Starfish, crabs, and some
small fish make their homes
in tide pools.
27
They live in the water that
collects between the rocks
on the seashore.
Shellfish and anemones cling
to the rocks.
limpet
anemone
28
Trees are homes for
many animals.
Birds make nests
in the branches.
Squirrels build homes
called dreys in
the tree trunk.
drey
29
Insects live in the bark or
on the leaves.
Badgers build
burrows called setts
among the roots.
30
We are not the only ones who
live in our dry, cozy houses.
Bats may sleep in the attic.
Tiny bugs live in the carpets
and the furniture.
We all want a warm home with
food nearby.
