I won this book in a goodreads drawing.
At the beginning of spring, a bunch of robins return to the place they nested last year. They make their nests and lay their eggs and raise their next generation. Not all of them make to the time to migrate South.
Pretty decent, but I can imagine some parents might have small problem with the deaths.

Rob's Harrowing Adenture
I won this book in a contest on Goodreads. I am very excited to share it with you. It is not what you think. It is not a book of picture of Robins, well kind of. It is a story about a Robin family.
It was spring and the Robins were returning to the Catskill mountains in New York. Mary Robin and Rob Robin picked out their favorite tree from last year to start their family. Her eggs hatched Rob went off to go get food. What happens to him while he is gone? What will happen to his wife and kiddos? You get to read/listen to find out everything I left out. There is a lot. Exciting!!!!!

This is a very short book that details the life of a pair of robins. It's an easy read for the young reader and has a number of great pictures. A nice little glimpse of a small part of nature around us.
I won a copy of this book in a Goodreads giveaway for this honest review.

Copy received in giveaway.
This was cute but not something I'd read to my nephews. Not sure I'd even read this to the suggested audience of 12 year olds. Pretty sure this would be laughed out of the middle school library, and probably wouldn't be taken seriously be anyone above the second grade.
For content, it was cute, as I said, but it seems like the description oversells the male robin getting caught in the storm. Out of 20-some pages, the storm section highlighted like a key component of the book here lasted maybe half a page. And it's all from the point of view of the female robin who stayed at the nest. Even just following the male for a little bit as he starts dealing with and maybe even fighting against the storm could improve some things. You don't have to walk through every detail on his side, just starting it with him and then carrying that suspense over to the female's perspective as she waits would make the moment worth mentioning rather than a passing thing.
Now, that alone would result in 2 stars, but I have to deduct for one more thing: the version received. I knew going into the giveaway that this would be a Kindle version; I'm not complaining about that. What I am complaining about is that the version received was not compatible with my Kindle. This had to be read off the Kindle app - specifically on my iPad as it was too small on my phone. If you're going to give away a Kindle version, make sure that the version actually works on the Kindle.
