Mama Dug a Little Den
Checking Availibility...Description
This companion to the celebrated Mama Built a Little Nest explores the many different kinds of dens animals build for their babies.
Perhaps you'll come across a den,
dark and deep and wide.
And it will make you wonder...
Who or what might be inside!
