A Round of Robins

A Round of Robins by Hesterman, Katie. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780399547782.

Sixteen fresh and funny poems welcome a new batch of robins to the world! Food Fight Jumble, jostle, rumble, squirm; Dad has landed with a worm. Game of tug-of-war begins-- Biggest bossy baby wins. Mamas a skillful architect, constructing a sturdy nest, while Dads a champion turf defender. And those hatchlings! Such fluffs of plump perfection! Katie Hestermans vibrant verse celebrates this awesome circle of bird life, as we follow a pair of robin parents from nest-building and egg-laying, to raising their hungry hatchlings, and finally sending off their flying fledglings. Sergio Ruzziers brilliant, candy-colored art pays tribute to all these stages of a robins life cycle, reminding us that while robins may be common, they are also extraordinary!
