Oliver's Birthday and the Robin's Nest (ages 5-9)

 

This sweet, engaging tale tells Oliver’s story of friendship, selflessness, respecting nature, and how making a change, even an unwanted one, can lead to surprises and rewarding results. 

"It was a great lesson for Oliver to understand that sometimes we must change our plans to accommodate others ... It was fun to watch the children experience the birth of those baby robins and learn about how they grow until they fly away." -- Deanne, My Book Shelf
