A Nest Full of Eggs

By Priscilla Belz Jenkins and Belz Jenkins

Book Overview

Read and find out about a full year of growth and change for robins in this colorfully illustrated nonfiction picture book.

Named a Best Children's Science Book of the Year by Science Books & Films, this picture book shows how the birds develop inside their eggs during the spring; how they mature into fledglings in the summer; how they learn to fly in the fall; and how they leave for warmer climates in winter--only to return when spring comes around again.

This is a clear and appealing science book for early elementary age kids, both at home and in the classroom. It features rich vocabulary and beautiful spreads detailing different bird habitats and feather types. Both text and artwork were vetted for accuracy by Dr. Charles Walcott, Professor Emeritus of Neurobiology and Behavior and former director of the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology.

Nest Full of Eggs

A great book to use in the spring in classrooms. Great for supplemental material for a unit on birds or the life cycle of animals. Great illustrations and text. A must-have book for home or school.
