About this ebook
A look at our favorite backyard bird “stuffed with information, much of it fascinating and likely to be a surprise even to adult readers” (USA Today, 4 stars).
Robins are the most familiar and beloved of all birds, found throughout North America and celebrated as one of the first signs of spring. But there’s a lot about them that most people don’t know! In this visually stunning picture book that features comic-book panels combined with painterly illustrations, Eileen Christelow tells the story of two young robins’ first year, and reveals plenty of little-known facts that are sure to captivate young naturalists. Narrated with humor and filled with kid-pleasing details, this fascinating account of how robins grow up includes an Author’s Note, Glossary, More About Robins, and Sources.
“Fresh and inviting, here’s the go-to book for children curious about robins.”—Booklist (starred review)
“Christelow’s accurate illustrations are action filled and make excellent use of panels to depict multiple perspectives on bird poses and behavior, as well as moment-by-moment events.”—The Horn Book (starred review)
“[An] insightful study of an unflashy but fascinating bird.”—Publishers Weekly
“As infectious as the ubiquitous bird’s own ‘Cheerily-cheerily, cheerily-cheerup, cheerup!’”—Kirkus Reviews
