This is an informative book on eggs that has a whole bunch of pictures of really cute baby chickens. It tells you about the different kinds of animals that lay eggs. It shows you the inside of a chicken egg before it hatches at two different stages of development. This is a good book for littler kids, who don't already know that chickens have to sit on their eggs to keep them warm.
The Egg is an informational book about eggs. It first goes through the process of a chicken egg becoming a chick and continues to talk about many types of eggs. The book is a wonderful little book that includes some very unique designs such as see-through pages.
Though this book does not answer the question, which came first, the chicken or the egg, the transparency pages help to explain how the egg is formed inside the hen, and how the chick starts to grow. The book also explains how eggs of different birds and reptiles differ in size and shape.
This book talks about chicks. It shows how chicks are hatches, develops, and grows. It also includes different kinds of bird eggs.
