(Spider!) Or which animal clears a tidy a path to their log-pile house to make it easier for visitors? (Rattlesnake! But watch out, visitors . . .  this animal plans to gobble you up!) Whose home has a larder, dining room and super-slidey escape tunnel?! (Mole!) Plus find out which house ends up being the BEST after all. And guess what?
