Bobby, the Allotment Robin - Joanne Appleby
November 21, 2019
"Together Bobby and Scarlet watched the eggs hatch.
The two chicks were squeaking as they were very hungry.
Hatching is very hard work.'
Bobby, the Allotment Robin is a timeless source of reading for a child. It provides a happy and welcoming tone, organic within its pages.
Joanne Appleby covers seasonal changes, wildlife and the natural world in a story built around Bobby and his partner, Scarlet. The reader navigates with them the tale of their building a nest, laying eggs, and eventually watching their two chicks, Poppy and Cherry, hatch. Not forgetting the birds two human friends, Gill and Jo, who visit the allotment throughout the passing seasons.
Beautifully illustrated by Katarina Nice, this picture book charmingly depicts the art and beauty of the natural world, and is wonderful early-learning material for young minds. The planting of seeds, the picking of crops, and the all-important tasks undertaken by Bobby and his pals are as welcomingly displayed on each page as they would be in the real world.
