The Nest That Wren Built

32 pp. | Candlewick | March, 2020 | Trade ISBN 978-1-5362-0153-6 $16.99
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Anne Hunter. This picture book shows a birdy abode coming together for a wren family, with lots of specifics: snakeskin to scare predators; moss used for lining the nest; an egg sac anticipating spiders that will eat mites. Ink and colored-pencil illustrations in muted colors give close-up views of the nest and its inhabitants, and a glossary and ­additional "wren facts" further expand the information in the rhyming "House That Jack Built"–like text.
