(3) K-3 When janitor Basil falls asleep on the job, a resourceful bird makes her nest on his head. Basil cherishes his new tenant and the three bird babies that follow. But when the birds fly away, will Basil be left with an empty nest? Rowe's childlike mixed-media illustrations are a fitting accompaniment to this oddball tale of finding family.
