This book is a beautiful look at the American Robin — a very common bird often taken for granted. It follows a pair of robins from nest building in the spring to growing their fledglings to gathering together for the winter. The illustrations are black, gray, and white except for robin’s egg blue highlights throughout. The illustrations are pencil drawings that are exquisitely detailed and gorgeous. They may not engage the youngest readers, though, due to the lack of contrast. Recommended for children 4 and up.
