This Is the Nest That Robin Built
Denise Fleming, illustrated by Denise Fleming
Robin builds a nest with materials supplied by other creatures. Squirrel prepares twigs, Dog brings string, Horse shares straw, Pig mixes mud, and Rabbit gathers grass. Told in the accumulating pattern of “The House That Jack Built,” the account follows the nest from its construction through blue eggs, pink nestlings, and fledglings ready to fly. Rhythmic language traces the work of the animals and the changing stages of the young birds’ lives.
