In this slight story, one of three baby robins is afraid to leave his nest. Stalling by asking his parents details of the nest's construction, he finally makes his first wobbly flight. Torn-paper collage creates impressionistic pictures that are often appealingly simple. An author's note on robins and how they build their nests is included.
