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. Sandy Baker's other
books include Mrs. Feeny and the Grubby Garden Gang, Zack's Zany
Zucchiniland, The Dead Butterflies Diary, Color My Garden and
Colorea Mi Jardin (coloring books in English and Spanish), and now
Howie. Look for her sixth book, Three Sisters Garden, in Fall 2014.

Bilingual Books are a great introduction to high-interest topics
for early readers. Each page has full-color photographs that go
with the story and also highlights useful words. Text is shown in
traditional Chinese characters, Mandarin pin yin, simplified
Chinese characters, and English. In addition to a list of useful
vocabulary, at the back of each book are links to bonus audio files
in Cantonese, Mandarin and American English read by the author at a
slow pace for easy-to-use reference. These audio files are designed
for older readers, such as adults, to read alongside early readers
as young as from birth. Use the following tips to maximize the use
of each book and make them family favorites. For newborns (0-6
months old): Instead of reading the text on the whole page, just
point to the object that is on the page or a certain word that
describes the object on the page. For preverbal, babbling stage
(6-12 months old): Continue to use the objects on the page. Try
reading the whole sentence aloud and see how your child responds.
For toddlers (12 months-36 months): The older your child gets, the
more you can start bringing more attention to the actual words on
the page. You will be surprised at how well your child fares with
whole word recognition. For preschool and kindergarten: You can
definitely start teaching spelling of the English words and how to
even write some of the Chinese characters with their developing
fine motor skills.
