Here's what critics and readers say about....
ROBIN'S HOME

Recommended by Children's Librarians at the New York City Public Libraries

Kirkus reviews writes: "Wonderfully reassuring for anxious little fledglings of any species."

"A sympathetic tale about the travails of growing up seen through the eyes of a reluctant baby robin ... Atkins's compassionate story addressed the diametrically opposing emotions - the inexorable progression toward independence and the desire to cling to the familiar - that children experience as they grow.  Whitman's watercolor collages, awash in vibrant hues of green and blue, are infused with warmth. Layered bits of torn paper give the full-bleed illustrations depth and texture while intriguing perspectives...add strong visual appeal...an author's note provides further factual information on the habits of robins.
