An award-winning first glimpse into the world of hummingbirds.
In this addition to the acclaimed About... series, author and educator
Cathryn Sill uses simple, easy-to-understand language to teach children
what hummingbirds are, how they look, how they move, what they eat, and
where they live.
The beautifully detailed, realistic paintings of noted wildlife
illustrator John Sill introduce readers to the many varieties of
hummingbirds--from the smallest type (the bee hummingbirds of Cuba) to
the largest (the giant hummingbirds of the Andes Mountains in South
America). An afterword inspires further learning.
This beginner's guide to hummingbirds is perfect for early childhood and
elementary units in science and animal life.
