First the Egg

Bibliography: Vaccaro Seeger, L. (2007). First the Egg. New York, NY: Roaring Brook Press.
Brief Annotation: This book goes through the first and second happenings in life. First the egg then the chicken, first the tadpole then the frog, first the seed then the flower. There is one cutout on each page so readers can get a hint of what might be on the next page.
Genre: Picturebook
Grade Level: Pre-K to Kindergarten
Readers who will like this: Teachers who want to teach their children about sequence and children who want to explore the nature of sequence around them.
Response/Rating: I would give this book a 2 because of how beautifully the illustrations are done and the cutouts on every page which I think is handy for children. I thought it was a little too basic and dense to satisfy my interests though.
One question to ask before a read-aloud: Have you ever seen a flower and wondered how the flower came to be? Or where a chicken came from?
