Toddler-K–As the sun rises and a new day begins, Little Robin sets out on a whirlwind adventure around the globe. With each page turn, this curious robin introduces young readers to a new bird species in its natural habitat, from graceful swans and ducks gliding across ponds to flightless kiwis admiring Little Robin from the ground. The board book features a simple, predictable pattern: two short sentences on the verso describe what Little Robin sees, while the recto highlights each bird’s distinctive call. This rhythmic structure provides a steady pace, ideal for the youngest of listeners. Vibrant, detailed illustrations bring each spread to life, offering young readers plenty to discover visually including subtle habitat elements and differences in bird shapes and feathers. The engaging visuals pair well with the text, making this an inviting title for shared reading or independent exploration. As Little Robin returns home just in time to say “Goodnight,” this gentle journey serves as a basic introduction to bird sounds and characteristics and is a solid companion for paired nonfiction titles on birds.
VERDICT A sweet, accessible look at the avian world, ideal for one-on-one reading.
