"The pleasing text is well constructed, with rhythm and rhyme
altered in different types of stanzas and distinctive birdsongs
included in the verse. . . . A beautifully crafted, informative
picture book."
--Booklist, starred review "This charming and unusual nature story
contributes something new to the overstuffed field of bird-related
picture books. . . . As welcome as the robin in springtime."
--Kirkus, starred review "The restraint of the artwork dovetails
nicely with the story's themes: caretaking. . . and observation. .
. A fine book about watching living things in the wild, and it also
serves as a beginning birders' guide, identifying the features and
cries of common backyard birds."
--Publishers Weekly "[A] lovely introduction to common neighborhood
birds."
--School Library Journal "With its many birdcalls that invite
imitation, the text is enjoyable in its own right, as are the
softly texture, earth-toned setting in which children and birds
enjoy each other's company."
