ADORABLE! Great for bird lovers of ALL ages

I highly recommend this book, it is colorful, contains interesting facts and is written in simple language for children. A great gift for a bird lover of any age!

Beautifully Written and Illustrated

Irene Kelly's most recent book is a must have for any child's library - but adults will also love it. It's a Hummingbird's Life is filled with fun facts and lyrical watercolors. My daughter was thrilled to receive this gem of book, and has read it over and over. Parents will especially appreciate the tips on hummingbird gardens.

A pleasure for kids and grown-ups, too

This beautiful book is filled with fun and fascinating hummingbird lore. A great choice for children who like to read facts about living creatures. My son has been recounting what he learned from Irene Kelly's book to everyone who will listen. These tiny birds are rendered in dazzling color and detail by this artist, who also has a handle on exactly what children want to know. Highly recommended!

It's a Hummingbird's Life

I purchased It's a Hummingbird's life as a gift for my mother, an avid Hummingbird lover, but found I could not give it away, my six year old loved it as much as I did. With a "wow" and a "cool" on every page, he enjoyed the factual information as much as I loved the vibrant watercolors. This book is one of those rare finds that works as a gift for children, parents, and grandparents!

Beautifully illustrated and fun too!

My family recently visited Costa Rica where we saw many incredible hummingbirds - Since that trip, I've been searching for a children's book about hummingbirds with no success, until now. It's a Hummingbird's Life is simply stunning - the pictures as well as the writing. A welcome change from the usual dull nonfiction fare for kids. I highly recommend this book for children and adults alike. Bravo!
