'Rocky and Ruby Robin have decided to build a nest. Before they start, they visit all their friends to see what sort of nest would be best. Each bird sells the virtues of their own particular nest design, but the robins don't feel that any of them is quite right for them.

'A re-telling of an original story written in the 1940s, this tale has old-fashioned charm and is presented in a lively, colourful way.' (From the publisher's website.)

'Help the baby bird to find his mother using this stunning lift-the-flap book. Where's My Mum? is in the style of the enormously successful Guess Who? A cygnet hatches out of sight of its mother and looks for her throughout the pages. She questions each bird she meets (each one hidden by a flap) and, on the way, learns about each bird. Finally she finds the black swan, her mother. Educational facts are included on the reverse of the flap.' (Publication summary)
