The book I read from today is called Animal Architects: How Shellmakers Build Their Amazing Homes, by W. Wright Robinson, and published by Blackbirch Press, Inc. (www.blackbirch.com). It’s part of a series of books on different types of animals and how they build their homes, which is pretty neat. Great pictures, too.

Thanks to Theo at the Lillian H. Smith Library in Toronto, for helping me to find the perfect book on snails the moment we walked over to the shelf.

Send me an e-mail! (If you're a kid, make sure it's okay with your parents first.) You can write to me at nodcast@gmail.com.

What kind of things do you read about in non-fiction books? I’ll bet your school has all sorts of great books for you to read in the school library – and your local library does too. I’d love to hear what you’re reading or thinking about lately. And if you'd like, I'll say hi to you on the show, or read something you've written if you tell me it's okay to do that. I'm so glad you could join me today!
