Do You Wear Diapers?

Do You Wear Diapers? by Tanya Roitman and Harriet Ziefert, Inc. board book ages 2-4 Toddlers may wonder - "Do tigers wear diapers? Does anyone else wear diapers"? Here is the answer book. No. The answer is "no". Only humans wear diapers. Others poop in or near their own habitats. If your family is full of doctors and nurses or biology teachers, then this a good book for your family. I don't recommend it for a genteel grandmother to read or for someone else who is easily grossed out. Half of my audience laughed and the other half thought it was icky. In case you were wondering: There are NOT pictures of poop, but there are illustrations of various animals. Readalike: Everyone Poops by Taro Gomi

Whose House Is This?

Whose House Is This? A Look at Animal Homes - Webs, Nests, and Shells
by
Elizabeth Gregoire, Derrick Alderman and Denise Shea
Nonfiction children's picture book, ages 4-8
Part of the "Whose Is It? Science" series of books

This book teaches about different habitats for critters found around North America. Each odd page shows an animal's home then the flip side discusses the animal that lives in that sort of cave/nest/etc. The illustrations are cut paper and color drawings.
It includes instructions for making a craft piggy bank that looks like a house (a house for a human, that is), a glossary, bibliography, index, and website links. These are all aspects of a book that librarians like to see.
This would be a good book series for a campground or state park library or a classroom or school library.
