About This Book

Through rhyming text and Steve Jenkins' signature cut-paper collage illustrations, young readers discover the incredible variety of nests that different bird species build. From falcons on craggy ledges to burrowing owls underground, each spread reveals a fascinating nesting strategy along with fun facts about each bird.

Why We Love This

A wonderful blend of poetry and science - after reading this, our kids started noticing bird nests everywhere on walks and couldn't wait to identify what kind of bird made each one.
