The Robins in Your Backyard (Accelerated Reader Program series)
Kindergarten-Grade 2.  Beginning with the welcome return of the robin in the early spring, Willis details the creation of the nest, hatching of eggs, feeding and growth of nestlings, and completes the cycle with the return flight south. The realistic colored-pencil illustrations include an inside-the-egg look at an embryo, the hatching of a bird, and a look at a newborn robin. Through the artwork and descriptive narrative, readers follow the nestlings as they develop, grow adult feathers, and become independent. A guide to aiding injured or orphaned songbirds is appended. Bird lovers and other curious folks will enjoy this light, but accurate account of the life cycle of the robin.?Christy Norris, Valley Cottage Library, NYCopyright 1997 Reed Business Information, Inc.--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
