Reviews
"The Meet Your World series, which opened with You Are a Honey Bee! and You Are a Raccoon!, offers young children information about animals that they might see in their yard or neighborhood park. The engaging, second-person narrative provides intriguing facts without becoming too detailed, while further information and a basic glossary appear in the back matter. With bright, lively illustrations, here's an inviting introduction to robins, one of North America's most familiar birds." --Booklist
