The pictures are beautiful, think a more detailed version of Extra Yarn, with simple text and adorable font. Perfect for a 3-2nd grade story time about birds. Highly recommended.

This is a lovely book, each page is a pleasure to look at.
What fun to read out loud and make each bird sound.
Do you recognise them all? I don't, but I will go out and listen and maybe I will hear the nesting bird.

Great rhymes, fun bird calls, neat color palette and technique. Super good for preschool. Props for checking in with the Cornell Ornithology Lab to verify facts. Minus one star because it looks EXACTLY like Jon Klassen's House Held Up By Trees. EXACTLY.

This was an interesting book because the actual reading of the book was more on the dull, than interesting side for me. I had a lot of questions that grew as I read the book. But then at the end, there is a Q&A session between the author and the nesting bird. Most of the questions I had were answered after reading them! I think this book would be a good one to use as a mentor test for asking questions. You could also use this book for how authors show, not just tell the information.

Beautiful illustrations of all different birds and the sounds they make enhance this story of the Robin mother who is nesting with her eggs until they hatch. The best part of this book, though, is the "interview" with the mother Robin at the end, which is full of facts about the birds when they are nesting and what people who see them should and should not do. If I had skipped that part, I would have missed the true meaning of this book.

Just in time for spring, the nesting bird is silent and still as she incubates her eggs. While the other birds sing, she waits patiently for her babies to hatch. In this Junior Library Guild selected picture book, Rita Gray’s melodic rhymes entertain a lower elementary audience and answer all their questions about mother birds in a Q&A section at the end of the story. Kenard Pak’s stunningly unique watercolor and digital illustrations mirror the text by depicting the birds, as they are described, in earthy tones and interesting perspectives. It’s a sweet and educational story that’s certain to win your heart, if not a few awards, by the end of the year.

Such a cool book. Study your bird calls beforehand. About a mother Robin laying in her nest silently as other birds make their calls. Doesn’t go over why she is silent but could ask the group at the end of the book what they think. A Q&A on the final pages goes through why the story happened the way it did - why the parent robins did what they did.
