Opis

The first story of a two-part series, A Hummingbird's Story: How I Came to Be, was told by Samantha, a delightful juvenile hummingbird, who describes what it was like to crack out of an eggshell and eventually fledge from the comfortable nest built by mom. Sebastian, her nest-mate and big brother, takes his turn at storytelling in this book, Sebastian's Neighborhood: A Hummingbird's Story. He describes what life is like in his "neighborhood." Colorful, detailed photographs are used to provide a realistic view of these intriguing birds. Why male birds are often more colorful than female birds; how the physical appearances of birds change so dramatically during the first year of life; and why birds preen are just a few of the concepts children learn. Vocabulary words such as species, perch, and preen are scattered throughout the book with easy to understand definitions included in the text. Teachers and parents will appreciate the way Sebastian takes children beyond the facts by having them answer questions or make comparisons. Sebastian's Neighborhood: A Hummingbird's Story is sure to be one your children's favorites.
