Read and find out about a full year of growth and change for robins in
this colorfully illustrated nonfiction picture book.
Named a Best Children's Science Book of the Year by Science Books &
Films, this picture book shows how the birds develop inside their eggs
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 climates in
winter--only to return when spring comes around again.
This is a clear and appealing science book for early elementary age
kids, both at home and in the classroom. It 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.
