Review by Booklist Review

Gr. 1-3. More complex than most stage-one books in the Let's Read-and-Find-Out series, this begins with a pair of American robins building a nest in a suburban garden. Two kids watch the nest and see the eggs hatch out and the babies learn to fly. At the same time they read about birds in all kinds of places. The book-within-a-book may be a bit confusing for early readers, but the cheerful pencil-and-watercolor illustrations are clear and informative. With an adult's help, younger readers will be stimulated to look carefully at the nest building in their own neighborhoods and to learn about what happens inside each egg.

Review by School Library Journal Review

PreS-Gr 2‘A young boy and girl observe the activities of a robin family from the first ``cheer-up'' call of spring, through nest building, hatching, and fledging. Additional information about other kinds of birds and their behaviors is touched upon. One double-spread shows development within the egg. The format is open and inviting with illustrations that have child appeal. However, the colors appear rather flat and washed out, lacking the exuberance one associates with the season. An adequate accompaniment to Barrie Watts's Birds' Nest (Silver Burdett, 1991), a photographic presentation of the nesting season of the blue titmouse.‘Diane Nunn, Richard E.

Review by Horn Book Review

A young boy with a robin's nest outside his bedroom window provides a simple description of each stage, from the building of the nest to the young birds' first ventures from home. Illustrations in pencil and watercolor clearly depict the robins and the enthusiastic young birder and his friends. A brief description of the different nests built by other birds is included in this attractive introduction. From HORN BOOK 1995, (c) Copyright 2010.
