Using engaging transparent pages, this book captures the imagination by explaining what happens to eggs. Relying mostly upon a chicken, the book illustrates where the egg comes from, what's inside, how the animal grows, and how the peep breaks free. Besides the chicken, the book also briefly discusses other animals that come from eggs: other birds, reptiles, fish, and crayfish. The book is a great science book and stealthy increases scientific vocabulary. Not only that, but it contains a little bit of good old fashioned European humor as well. A wonderful science tool for children of all ages. As an adult I have learned a lot from this book. I love the transparency overlays as the development of the chick proceeds forward. It gives a whole picture of how the egg and embryo proceeds in stages until it becomes alive chick and then Chicken. I have a bachelor of Science degree and I believe this to be a great teaching tool for any age.
Beautiful gift book.
