If you could have any animal's home, whose would you choose?

What if you woke up one morning and discovered you were living inside a wild animal's home instead of your own? How would that change your daily life? What If You Had an Animal Home!? is the next imaginative book in Sandra Markle's popular What If You Had...? series.

If you had a honeybee's home, you'd always have room service. If you had a meerkat's home, you'd play hide-and-seek for hours. And a hermit crab's home would follow you wherever you go! The animal kingdom has tons of amazing homes, but yours is pretty great, too!

Discover what your life would be like if you had these special animal homes — and find out why your home is just right for you!

      Markle invites children to picture themselves living in the homes of 11 wild animals. As in previous entries in the series, McWilliam's illustrations of a diverse cast of young people fancifully imitating wild creatures are paired with close-up photos of each animal in a like natural setting. The left side of one spread includes a photo of a black bear nestling in a cozy winter den, while the right side features an image of a human one cuddled up with a bear. On another spread, opposite a photo of honeybees tending to newly hatched offspring, a human "larva" lounges at ease in a honeycomb cell, game controller in hand, as insect attendants dish up goodies. A child with an eye patch reclines on an orb weaver spider's web, while another wearing a head scarf constructs a castle in a subterranean chamber with help from mound-building termites. Markle adds simple remarks about each type of den, nest, or burrow and basic facts about its typical residents, then closes with a reassuring reminder to readers that they don't have to live as animals do, because they will "always live where people live." A select gallery of traditional homes, from igloo and yurt to mudhif, follows a final view of the young cast waving from a variety of differently styled windows. Another playful imagination-stretcher. (Informational picture book. 6-8)
