2008 Notable Books for Children (1)


First the Egg by Laura Vaccaro Seeger

This picture book illustrates the old age question: What comes first the chicken or the egg? Most importantly it shows the life cycle from baby to adult and then baby again. It also shows the beginning and ending of a word to a story and paint to a picture. Children will be able to relate the beginning and ending of the life cycle to other things. It introduces children to important words such as first and then to show the order of events that are taking place. The text is simple and easy to follow. I would highly recommend this book to preschool children and on a Science lesson on the life cycle. The die cut-outs and the vibrant colors will capture the readers attention and will keep them reading it over and over again.
