Amazing Animals - Animal Builders [VHS]
Sure you knew that spiders spun webs, and you probably knew that some wasps chew wood and mix it with their saliva to build a nest, but did you know that the brush turkey spends all year making a nest of rotting leaves, the heat from which incubates its eggs? Or that some American prairie dog towns accommodate populations of 5 million? How about that beavers build homes half a football field long with separate rooms for food storage, eating, and sleeping? As Henry, our reptilian guide to this series pronounces, "Leave it to beaver!" Filled with fun facts and corny jokes, this 24-minute tape will educate and entertain kids from toddler age on up.--Kimberly Heinrichs
