Preschool-Grade 1 "You are a robin," the text begins, pecking your way out of your egg and initially blind. You're happy to eat the warm, soft food that Dad drops into your gaping mouth. A cold rain falls, but you and your siblings snuggle under Mom's wings and sleep. In a week, your eyes are open and you have feathers. A week later, nearly as large as your parents, you're ready to fly and Dad teaches you to hunt. The narrative follows a robin throughout the year, including migration, and completes the cycle with spring nest-building, egg-tending, and new robins hatching. The Meet Your World series, which opened with You Are a Honey Bee! (2023) and You Are a Raccoon! (2023), offers young children information about animals that they might see in their yard or neighborhood park. The engaging, second-person narrative provides intriguing facts without becoming too detailed, while further information and a basic glossary appear in the back matter. With bright, lively illustrations, here's an inviting introduction to robins, one of North America's most familiar birds.COPYRIGHT(2024) Booklist, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
