There's a Hummingbird in My Backyard

40 pp. | Heyday | June, 2010 | Trade ISBN 978-1-59714-131-4 $15.95
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Chuck Todd. A female hummingbird nests in the backyard of the Baker family's house; her eggs hatch and the fledglings learn to fly. Bogue intersperses facts about these quick and tiny birds with a very loose story of the Baker family taking care of them. Todd's illustrations complement the tale's themes of wonder and discovery, but his nature scenes are stronger than the human figures. Reading list, websites.
