Book Description

This beautifully illustrated children's book tells the story of a little red robin who flies the nest and makes his home in an allotment garden. It has been designed to educate young readers about this well-loved little bird. The beautiful watercolour illustrations show the robin in his natural habitat through the seasons and the various stages of his development. It will delight, engage, educate and inspire young children about nature. The story also includes some text which aims to stimulate discussions about teamwork and togetherness as well as several extra features at the back of the book for older readers to learn a little more about robins. Find out where robins live, how they came to be called 'robin red breasts', what robins are called when they are young, whether they are born with red breasts and much, much more! The large font size has been designed to be easy for older readers to read, with some assistance, as soon as they have a good understanding of phonics and basic words. The book size has been chosen by the author, a mother of twins, to be large enough to be enjoyed by two children at the same time and to allow the book to stand vertically on book shelves.
