• How can we use more solar energy to power our homes?
• How can we grow plants in the desert?
• How can we pump water to the top of very tall buildings?
• How can we clean polluted rivers?

From the bee’s honeycomb shape that strengthens structures to termites’ that build their nests with natural air con, these creatures did it first! And, at the end of the book, find out who wins big at the Animal Builder Awards! Will it be the prairie dog, the peacock, the beaver, or the firefly?
