PS
A robin--with help from friends--builds a nest, shown through vibrant, detailed collage art that mirrors the bird's methods and described in jaunty cumulative verse that pays homage to "The House That Jack Built." A dog supplies string, horse provides straw, pig mixes mud, etc.; then the robin constructs a perfect nest to house three eggs, which hatch. It's a lively story to share individually or with groups.
