Small Fry Pick of the Week: Have You Heard the Nesting Bird?

Have You Heard the Nesting Bird?

The mourning dove coos.
The starling sings,
whistle-ee-wee-tree
The sparrow makes a simple jingle.

But have you heard the nesting bird?

No, not one peep.  The robin sits quiet and still--nesting--not a single tweet or trill!

Why is this mama bird so silent while all the other yard birds are busy with their songs?  This gorgeously illustrated book celebrates the importance of quiet in the natural world and brings budding naturalists up to the treetops to learn about one of nature's secrets.
