Hi everyone! I just found this website today and if someone can help me solve this book mystery I would be so happy! I was born in the late seventies so I'm not sure if this book was written and illustrated before or after I was born. It seems to my recollection that my mystery book did not have many pages and I think the illustrations may have only been in black.and white or a couple other colors. But the story had to do with animals who for some reason build rounded dome like homes. It seems to me that a large animal like a hippo was used to shape them. I think they used cement or mud around the hippo and then let them dry. What I remember most are the illustrations where you could see the animals in their individual and maybe connected homes decorating them the way they wanted. As I grew up and would draw and doodle more amd.more I would draw homes of various shapes and I would then make rooms and decorate them. This mystery book inspired my imagination as did so many others. If you know any info on this story please help me solve this mystery. Thank you for your time!🙂👍🥰❤
