Describes how in the spring the American robin prepares her nest, lays her eggs, and sits patiently on her nest and keeps the eggs warm until twelve days pass and they are ready to hatch.
Named a Best Children’s Science Book of the Year by Science Books and Films, this classic picture book follows a full year of growth and change for a robin: How the birds develop inside their egg during the spring, how they mature into fledglings in the summer, how they learn to fly in the fall and how they leave for warmer climes in winter only to return when spring comes around again. Now rebranded with a new look, this Level 1 Let’s-Read-and-Find Out book features rich vocabulary and beautiful spreads detailing different bird habitats and feather types. Both text and artwork were vetted for accuracy by Dr. Charles Walcott, Professor Emeritus of Neurobiology and Behavior and Former Director of the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology.
