This picture book details the different kinds of eggs that animals lay. Each page shows the actual sizes of eggs in relation to the size of the animal, where different types of animals lay their eggs, and how they protect them. Visually this book is laid out very nicely. I really like that the authors picked specific animals that are vastly different so that readers could see how eggs are different for each type of animal and insect.
This book would be best for younger grades, preferably k-3. If I was to use this in the classroom, I would read this book as a read aloud and then create some life size eggs of different animals out of paper so kids could physically and feel the size of the eggs. ( )

The illustrations in this, and all of Steve Jenkins and Robin Page's books, are so lovely. The layout is beautiful, and the facts are fascinating. Eggs are cool. I learned that there is a species of fish that lays fertilized eggs and non-fertilized eggs at the same time, so that when the former hatch they can eat the latter. Awesome. ( )

This book explains what an egg is and what types of animals have eggs vs live births. It explains how an egg is different. It helps students understand the life cycle of an egg. It's a good beginner science book

This was a non-fiction book with a long history about eggs. It goes through ever animal that lays eggs. It is a great book but it could be confusing with the way that the text is put. This book would be for an older group. ( )

I appreciate the amount of illustrations that came in the book. The book went into great detail about eggs, they types of animals that lay eggs, how eggs are formed, predators to eggs, how eggs are protected, how they are moved ect. My favorite part was the in-depth glossary that provided information about all of the animals that were mentioned in the book, along with pictures. ( )
