A
melodic rhyming introduction to a wide variety of bird’s nests. Includes
factual information to each side. Some examples are Falcons, Cuckoo, Penguin
and many more. Featuring
collage style illustrations by Steve Jenkins. Don’t
get me wrong, this book is a work of art. I know that there is great love for
Steve Jenkins in the library community. But in my humble experience, given the
choice students will pick a book with real images of real animals, every time,
over illustrations. All of the Jenkins non-fiction books in my library remain
unchecked out for this very reason. The text is fun and interesting, just wish
is came with real pictures, so students would check it out more. Teachers love
to use books like this as a teaching tool, so it’s still advisable to pick this
one up.
