Precise illustrations show the process of Carolina wrens building a nest, laying and incubating eggs, and leaving the nest. The text is poetic and informative; back matter includes a glossary and "wren facts." See also: Bird Builds A Nest by Martin Jenkins and Richard Jones; "This is the House that Jack Built" (poem) Parrots, hummingbirds, and raptors may be more "exciting," but there's nothing quite like getting to know the simple birds in your backyard. House wrens are a common sight (and sound - they are VERY noisy!) in many yards and this is a sweet introduction to this snazzy little bird. There is at least one other book of a nesting bird based on "The house that Jack built" but what sets this aside is the focus on a specific bird, a Carolina wren, and the natural, detailed description of their nesting life cycle. Readers are introduced to the wrens as they build their nest, acquiring twigs, leaves, spiders, and a snakeskin. After the nest is a cozy, safe place, it is guarded by the male while the female lays her eggs. The hatchlings grow as they are fed, then at fourteen days fly from the nest. A curious possum, who has been watching the progress of the family, examines the empty nest in the moonlight. Back matter includes a glossary defining words such as "nourish" and "rootling" and some facts about wrens and their nests. Anne Hunter is an experienced artist and her illustrations often have a detailed, natural look to them which makes her a good choice to pair with Sonenshine's carefully chosen words. Colored pencil and ink bring out the tiny bars and stripes on the wrens, the delicate lines of a flower, the scales of the snakeskin. Verdict: A good choice for storytimes, this has an attractive rhythm and a bonus of other animals in the background for kids to identify as they listen to the story. This will also be a great choice for preschool and kindergarten classrooms and for budding naturalists.

"In the rhyming style of "The House That Jack Built," this poem about the care and specificity that Carolina wrens put into building a nest is at once tender and true to life. Papa and Mama Wren gather treasures of the forest, from soft moss for a lining to snakeskin for warding off predators. Randi Sonenshine's lilting stanzas, woven with accurate and unexpected details about Carolina wrens, and Anne Hunter's gentle, inviting illustrations reveal the mysterious lives of these birds and impart an appreciation for the wonder of the life cycles around us. Back matter includes a glossary and additional interesting facts about wrens. Nature lovers and poetry fans alike will be drawn to this lyrical picture book depicting how Carolina wrens build a nest for their young."-- No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

This book tells a story about a bird that builds a nest for her eggs through beautiful verses and illustrations.
This book is a simple yet powerful image of a bird who does all her can for her baby birds, and includes incredibly artistic and descriptive language that paints a picture in reader's minds. Good use for a poetry unit in the classroom.
