Award-winning author-illustrator Henry Cole soars to new heights in
this stunning picture book about robins: their homes, their lives, and
their families.
In this black-and-white picture book highlighted with robin's egg blue,
the reader will follow two robins as they build a nest with twigs and
grass. Then mother robin lays four beautiful blue eggs and will keep the
eggs warm in the nest until they hatch into four baby robins.
The father robin protects the babies until they can fly on their own.
The perils the babies encounter are many, including snakes and storms.
The nest is always their safe place.
Nesting provides introductory biology and animal science concepts for
very young children, and also makes a spectacular springtime gift.
Award-winning author-illustrator Henry Cole has re-created the life
story of the robin with simple text and stunning artwork. Nesting is
the perfect primer for young bird-watchers and nature lovers. The
beautiful, intricate black-and-white illustrations are illuminated with
lovely washes of blue that breathe life into the artwork.
