The story is accompanied by Henry Cole\u2019s lovely and detailed illustrations, mostly black and white, but with accents of robin\u2019s egg blue.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s a bit of gentle drama in the middle:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Down below, a snake sees the robins\u2019 nest.  The snake is hungry, too, and climbs the apple tree.<\/p>\n<p>The robins fight back!  They dive and swoop!<\/p>\n<p>They don\u2019t give up until they drive the snake away.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>We see the baby robins leave the nest and get ready to start their own home.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s simple science for young kids \u2013 and it\u2019s soothing and peaceful to see a robin\u2019s life cycle all laid out for you.  Henry Cole\u2019s wonderful art makes this book something special.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/henrycole.net\/\">henrycole.net<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/0062885928\/sonderbooksco-20\" target=\"outside\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Buy from Amazon.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Find this review on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sonderbooks.com\">Sonderbooks<\/a> at: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sonderbooks.com\/Picture_Books\/nesting.html\">www.sonderbooks.com\/Picture_Books\/nesting.html<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Disclosure: I am an Amazon Affiliate, and will earn a small percentage if you order a book on Amazon after clicking through from my site.<\/p>\n<p>Disclaimer:  I am a professional librarian, but the views expressed are solely my own, and in no way represent the official views of my employer or of any committee or group of which I am part.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/share\" class=\"twitter-share-button\" data-count=\"none\" data-via=\"Sonderbooks\">Tweet<\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"http:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>What did you think of this book?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nesting by Henry Cole Katherine Tegen Books (HarperCollins), 2020. 36 pages.
