To Kill A Mockingbird is a great book!  If it is not on a school's Required Reading List, I usually recommend that my students read it anyway.

Victor.
A mocking bird is a long-tailed grey-and-white songbird of the southern United States able to mimic the songs of other birds.

Mockingbirds are innocent creatures designed to give nothing but pure pleasure from their singing voices.

In regards to the book itself, a mockingbird represents the innocent. For instance: In the book, Scout reasons with her father not to reveal Boo Radley's part in the Ewell killing, because it would be "like killin' a mockingbird". Boo being what one would call a mockingbird innocent in the book, out to do nothing but protect the children.

Hope that helps.
