Tiny but mighty! A ruby throated hummingbird tells his own life story in this funny, bright, informative entry to the critically acclaimed Nature Diary science series. May 15- Today I poked my way out of this tiny egg. With Mom feeding him insects and nectar, Ruby T. Hummingbird is soon able to beat his wings and fly--up, down, backward, and forward--and forage for himself. But don' t be fooled! This elegant creature can turn into a fierce fighter if another hummingbird tries to feed on his flower--or his hummingbird feeder. June 21- This flower is MINE! No you don' t. A second test of his strength comes when he migrates to a warmer climate in the fall and a cooler climate in the spring. March 1, 5 a. m. - I' m off! Wish me luck. Children will love poring over the bright, highly detailed illustrations and pondering ideas about nature. The book includes a glossary and further information in the back of the book. Both art and text have been vetted for accuracy by an expert.
