The simple, yet accurate, graphics of this little book are a favorite in my Kindergarten classroom. The mysterious , invisible growth inside the egg is presented as a link in the life cycle of the chicken. Children delight in the transparent pages and return to look again and again. Non-readers can recall/retell the simple story with the help of the pictures. Older children quickly absorb the facts illustrated and want additional information. FROM EGG TO CHICKEN is a great book to share with a youngster.

This is a wonderful book for children and adults to read to children. There is however, a mistake that should be corrected in the book. After having raised dozens and dozens of chickens, the real truth is chickens do NOT lay several eggs at a time. They lay only ONE EGG at a time and it takes about 25 hours for a chicken to produce and egg, so you can generally expect an egg a day from each chicken, (some do lay less)Please do more research and correct this mistake. There are many children who will believe what you write and it needs to be the absolute truth. Thanks!

I enjoyed reading this to my 3 year old. I've been looking for good, simple books that discuss the lifecycles of chickens (without any extra information about chickens who are used by humans). This turned out to have lovely illustrations and to be well written. I think they could've done a prettier cover, but overall it was great.
