This educational tale of the migration, mating, and nesting habits of a pair of robins as they raise and care for their young will delight parents, teachers, and children. Beginning with the welcome return of the robins in early spring, simple language and beautifully detailed colored-pencil illustrations reveal exactly what is happening in those nearby but hidden nests. Included are kid-pleasing details, such as the fact that a newly hatched robin equals the weight of one nickel, and that each robin can eat up to 14 feet of earthworms a day! A glossary, breeding-season time line, and tips on helping injured or orphaned baby songbirds make this book as practical as it is charming.

Recipient of the Parent Council Seal as outstanding from a learning perspective and the Delaware Diamonds Book Awards. An Accelerated Reader Program book.
I write and illustrate nonfiction nature stuff, because I want to get kids as excited about the world around them as I am. Did you know a young robin can eat 14 feet of earthworms in one day, or that if you grew as fast as a robin you would weigh 90 pounds by the time you were 10 days old? Have you ever seen what a growing embryo inside its shell looks like? There's a drawing of one in The Robins In Your Backyard, along with other drawings that show baby birds as they grow up, and a list of vocabulary words to help kids learn more about birds.
