Review by Booklist Review

In this springtime entry in the Annie and Snowball Ready-to-Read series, Annie, her bunny, her cousin Henry, and his dog Mudge sit on the porch swing and watch as a robin sits on the five eggs in her nest. Then, one day, they hear the cheep cheep of hungry baby birds. Accessible to preschoolers as well as beginning readers, this gentle story has bits of childlike humor and plenty of good cheer, which arises from the colorful ink-and-wash artwork as well as the simple text. Even readers who don't share Annie's fondness for dressy dresses will enjoy this happy extended-family story.--Phelan, Carolyn Copyright 2009 Booklist

Review by Horn Book Review

From Annie's porch swing, she has the perfect view of a new nest as it's being built. Annie and Henry spot a robin, then wait expectantly for her lovely blue eggs to hatch. Four brief chapters, illustrated with Stevenson's reliably warm pen-and-ink and watercolor paintings, detail the anticipation of witnessing one of the great events of springtime. (c) Copyright 2010.
