Howie's Hungabird Dilemma (Paperback)

Howie goes head to head with his cantankerous neighbor Mrs. Hatcher who uses a tennis racquet to swing at the hummingbirds in her garden. A great admirer of hummers and fearful for their lives, Howie tries to figure out why Mrs. Hatcher behaves as she does and how to stop her. Does he? Howie's Hungabird Dilemma is the heart-warming story of his love of hummingbirds and his quest to stop Mrs. Hatcher from harming his favorite little bird. His little sister Carole Ann jumps into the fray as well. Literally This is the fifth of Sandy's children's gardening books with a plot. It's jam-packed with gardening and hummingbird facts, glossary, and a list of some favorite hummer flowers. Children, parents, and teachers alike will love the book with its beautiful illustrations by artist Casie Trace, her first children's picture book. Howie's Hungabird Dilemma is a 34-page, 8x10" full color book, softbound, and perfect for children 5-10 years old. $12.
