Review: The Best Nest

best nest

The Best Nest
Written and Illustrated by P.D. Eastman

Publication date: 1968
Publisher: Random House
ISBN: 978-0394800516

Summary/Back cover:
Illustrated in full colour, Mr. and Mrs. Bird's search for a "better" nest leads them to some peculiar spots.

Review:
This is an "I can read it all by myself" beginner book that my daughter has loved from the age of two. The story of two birds making decisions, encountering danger and learning the joy of being satisfied with what they have, are some of the lessons learnt. Repetition, humour and rhyme, combined with beautiful pictures, and Mr and Mrs Bird's songs are sure to make this a family favourite!
