A little boy watches a hummingbird outside his window and tries to paint the path he takes. ( )

Keith Baker’s picture book is excellent for young readers. It provides bright pictures with lots of familiar things that you would find in the backyard. The boy character in the book watches the path of a hummingbird flying. He then creates a wonderful painting showing the different shapes and ways the hummingbird flew all over the yard. The words are very fun and descriptive to the motions of the hummingbird flight path. Also for added fun for toddlers and preschoolers there are hidden caterpillars on each page of the book which adds another element to the story.

Little green, or a green hummingbird explores outside and its beauty. All the while inspiring a young child's paintings.

Teaching Ideas: explain some scenery, event, or anything of that sort and let children draw what they see in their heads from your description

Little Green is about a little green hummingbird who is exploring through a sunny garden. As the little green hummingbird flies around, the sight of the hummingbird leaves a path of eager eyes from a young artist who is watching from his window. The young artist begins to paint what he sees. A great book to share with young, aspiring artists who love nature. I would recommend this book as a great addition to anyone’s collection.
