Book Cover & Preview Text
When Robin finished building her nest, she fluffed up her feathers in it to see if it was secure enough for her chicks. It was soft, and deep, and just right. “If it feels good for me”, she squawked, “it will be just right for my chicks”. Day after day, Squirrel looked into Robin’s nest from a branch high above. Each time he checked, there was nothing. “I think Robin has played a trick on me”, he grumbled, as his bushy tail fanned the air. Then Robin got the notion to sit in her nest. She cleaned her feathers, changed positions, and scanned around the nest. And then, the most exciting thing happened. She had laid the most beautiful egg she could ever imagine. It was as blue as the eyes of a princess and as smooth as a well polished stone. Robin was proud of the nest she had built, but even more of the beautiful egg she had laid. “Kek! Kek! Kek! Kek!” she called out to her friends to come and celebrate with her. The birds came and landed on the branches around her nest. They cheered with her in a noisy celebration. But, relaxing on a branch above her nest was Squirrel, who was watching everything.
