"How does an egg like this grow into a chicken like this?" Selman's book provides a detailed answer to what is surely a common question, beginning with a look inside the hen's body and even illustrating the stages of development of the chick within the egg.

Egg to Chick is supposedly geared towards ages 4-8, but it seems that younger kids would have trouble with some of the vocabulary (sperm, embryo) and concepts (dogs and humans start out as eggs; fish and human embryos look alike), while older kids might be bored with the simple cadence of the writing. Nonetheless this might be a nice resource for families that raise chickens or for exploring comparative anatomy in a relatively simple way.

Chicks don't fly at 21 days....they hatch! This is a very good book for the study of the life cycle of chickens. We used this to help our children (and us) to know what in the world was going on in those eggs.We have incubated and let the hens sit on the eggs. My advice: let the mommas do it. CAREFUL ! Roosters are lurking in this book ! You know what that means? Your children will if your not careful !Which came first, the chicken or the egg? I know, do you ? I JUST LOVE THE PICTURES OF THE GROWING CHICK IN THE EGG. SEE YA' AT THE HEN HOUSE.
