About this story
Foxy and a young explorer unroll a colorful map and set off on their biggest adventure yet: a journey to ten amazing animal homes around the world. From the frozen tundra where arctic foxes change color with the seasons, to the taiga's evergreen forests where beavers build whole new ponds, every stop reveals how animals are perfectly built for the places they call home. Young readers learn to read a map, think like an explorer, and spot animal signs — tracks, chewed leaves, and feathers — along the way. A globe-trotting adventure through ten habitats, full of fact-filled scenes for curious explorers.
- Habitat — the natural place an animal lives, like a forest, tundra, or reef
- Tundra — a cold, treeless land in the far north where snow covers the ground most of the year
- Taiga — a cold forest of evergreen trees that stay green all year
- Herd — a big group of animals that travel together, like caribou
- Camouflage — colors that help an animal blend in and hide, like the arctic fox's winter-white fur
- Adaptation — a special body part or behavior that helps an animal survive where it lives
- Route — a path followed again and again, like the caribou's long walking paths
- Dam — a wall a beaver builds across water to make a new pond

What Parents Say
Families sharing their experiences with our books and family safety tools.
After reading this, my daughter started asking about how lighthouses work and we ended up looking up videos together. Anything that gets her that curious is a win in my book.
The rhythm of this book is so soothing. It's become our Sunday-morning read. The river metaphor opened up a real conversation about listening to nature with my kids.
A beautiful, quiet story. On high-energy days my 6-year-old can't sit through it, but on calm evenings it's perfect. The language is genuinely lovely.
