FIVE little eggs in a nest
in a tree.
What in the world will my
little egg be?
One cracked open
and what did Mama see?
A fuzzy little penguin,
walking wobbly as can be.
My Impressions:
I first thought Ten Little Eggs would be an Easter-themed book because of, well, eggs! But this book is a fun family read-aloud for the whole year. There is so much to love about this book — its repetitive rhyme and countdown to the final egg will have your kids “reading” along. The ten eggs in momma bird’s nest reveal some very surprising family members — fun and funny. As the book progresses, the anticipation increases as readers will be guessing just who will show up in the nest next! Illustrations are detailed and oh so cute. I guarantee his book will become a favorite.
Recommended.
Audience: preschoolers and their families.
