Cigar rollers wrap leaves to lay their eggs, pill bugs form dung balls, and mason bees use empty snail shells: some insect species are remarkably resourceful when it comes to protecting their offspring, creating highly artistic nests in the process. In her aesthetically sophisticated non-fiction picture book, Anne Möller introduces some of these crawling creatures. By focusing on the rarely addressed topic of "insect nest building," she distinguishes herself from other works. She describes in detail and concisely how each insect proceeds, illustrating this step by step with images and text. A full-page illustration provides a glimpse inside the completed nest.

The large-scale and finely crafted collages—Möller uses torn papers and paints—are strikingly beautiful and vivid. The author invites the viewer to share in her observations of nature and inspires a desire to engage in research and delve deeper into the subject.
