Have You Heard The Nesting Bird?

In rhyming text, we learn the bird calls of blue jays, cardinals, crows and more. The robin, however, stays quiet, sitting on her nest.

Beautiful illustrations in a muted green and brown palette show which bird is which, a boost for a nonfiction book that flows so well you’ll forget you are learning about birds.

In the end, there is a question and answer session under the heading “A Word with the Bird” in which we learn why the robin is so quiet when she’s nesting, when the male robin joins in to help and what to do if you see a bird in her nest.

Written by Rita Gray and illustrated by Kenard Pak, this would be a great book to compare to the fictional Froodle.
