Publisher Summary

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. A Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection Don’t miss the other books in The Nature Diary Series!
