Description
Bob the Builder meets The Octonauts in this picture book series that follows a team of kiddos who combine their tools, facts, and feelings to build dream homes for the animals in their town.
Habitat emergency! Habitat Heroes, you're our only hope!
When Merriweather the platypus goes missing at the zoo before her welcome party, there's only one group to callโthe Habitat Heroes!
As the heroes use their handy tools and research to search for Merriweather (where could she be? In the savannah? In the jungle?) they realize something must be missing from her new habitat. They'll need to build some additions so the platypus can feel at home. But what does a platypus like? Sticks? Worms? Playing in the mud? Sounds like fun, actually.
Can the Habitat Heroes help Merriweather feel welcome in time for her platypus party?
