The Robins in Your Backyard Written and Illustrated by Nancy Carol Willis
"Cheerily, cheer-up, cheerily," sings the robin redbreast to herald springtime's arrival. He has flown over 1,000 miles to nest in the land where he was born. Join him as he courts a mate, and together they build a nest and raise their young. Both parents feed their hungry nestlings every ten minutes from sunrise to sunset. As they grow, predators and other dangers face the young robins. Will they survive to follow their parents south in autumn?
A sweet story and solid facts about the mating, nesting, and migration habits of the American robin are neatly presented with beautifully-detailed, large-size colored pencil illustrations. A glossary and guide to aiding orphaned and injured songbirds is included. The Robins in Your Backyard was awarded the Parent Council seal as an outstanding book for children. 32 pages. Ages 4 - 8.
