Seven Hungry Babies

(3) PS Illustrated by Eugene Yelchin. One spring day, Mama Bird must find food for each of her seven nest-bound babies. She feeds them one at a time, energetically at first ("Mama zips back...") and later exhaustedly ("Mama staggers back..."). Fleming's rhymes are inventive, and the gouache art keeps pace with Mama's increasingly bedraggled state. Yelchin honors the book's surprise ending with due humor.
