About this book
Leaving a crowded nest gives Robinette his first taste of freedom, along with the problem of finding his own supper. The smallest of five young robins, he discovers how well his wings work when a cat appears near his family. Agnes S. Underwood gives the birds conversations, opinions and family worries, making a garden seem like a community seen from a low branch. A lady with a newspaper attracts Robinette's attention, and their cautious exchange begins with chirps and a song.
Quarrels, loneliness and the search for a suitable home bring ordinary concerns into this children's animal tale. Robinette can be proud and quick to anger, but he also knows how to recover his spirits when work goes wrong. The volume also includes Apple-Pie Order, whose opening moves to Simon Copland's farmhouse as little Phœbe comes back from school looking sad.
