About this book
An errand through an orchard brings Fred Symmes an unexpected sight: his familiar robin feeding another family of birds. His grandfather's explanation leads into a children's story that pairs observations of bird life with lessons about helping others. Around the family cottage, Fred makes a playhouse for his sister Annie, while the robins raise young of their own in a nearby elm.
Madeline Leslie gives the birds voices and distinct tempers. Dick boasts after a frightening first attempt at flight, while Jack struggles to keep his promise to avoid quarrels. Their parents find food and encourage their young. Conversations about beaks, feeding and warning cries sit beside these small domestic scenes. Readers can enjoy the bird family as a story while seeing how Leslie connects care for animals with patience, generosity and good conduct among children.
