Jenkins, Martin Bird Builds a Nest (A First Science
Storybook), illustrated by Richard Jones.
PICTURE BOOK. Candlewick,
2018. $17. 9780763693466
Bird is busy building a nest to get ready for her new eggs.
The summary is simple, but Jenkins has brilliantly added
science concepts to the text in creative ways to introduce gravity and force to
very small readers. I am curious how
many parents would take the time to actually discuss this aspect with their
child – teachers will pick up on this and use it much more avidly, I
think. The color palette for Jones’s
illustrations has a retro feel – a little funky, a little dull. They have more
of an autumn feel, rather than the spring feeling I would expect.
Pre-K, EL (K-3) – ADVISABLE.
