Description

A young child observes and admires a friendly ruby-throated hummingbird in this poetic love letter to the smallest birds in the world.

A perfect rhyming and informative picture book about hummingbirds for curious 4-7-year-old backyard birders.

Hummingbird, you nectar lover,
how you dash and dart and hover—
forward, backward, upside down.
I love to watch you zip around.

Admire a playful ruby-throated hummingbird alongside a young child, and learn about these birds’ lives from teeniest tiniest egg to migrating south as the seasons change. With Iza Trapani’s pleasing rhymes and gentle introduction to these little hummers, young readers will delight in repeat read alouds!

Back matter includes further reading on hummingbirds for the most insatiable kids.
