A simple concept is gracefully and artistically portrayed in a small, square-shaped book with heavy-stock pages. Facing pages show two different eggs, accompanied by a few words of rhyming text, e.g. "Blue egg. / New egg. / Dotted egg. / Spotted egg. / Rosy Egg. / Cozy egg." The realistic illustrations show seven pairs of eggs, some in nests, some just the egg itself, and include one Cadbury egg ("Sweet egg."), a literal, tongue-in-cheek Easter egg. The final page has a visual index of the 13 real eggs, identified by the species each one belongs to. The 14 ^th egg, of course, belongs to whoever finds it first. (Ages 2-5)

Bird eggs come in so many beautiful colors, sizes, and shapes, but best of all is what's inside them!
