A fun way to look at the differences and similarities between eggs - see if you can guess which animal it is before you turn the page.

Picture-book naturalist Mia Posada explores the world of animal eggs in this engaging and interactive work for younger children. The book alternates between two-page spreads in which a particular kind of egg is described in rhyming text, with an accompanying question about what's inside, and two-page spreads on which the answer is given, along with more information about the animal in question. Animals profiled include penguins, alligators, ducks, sea turtles, spiders and octopodes. An afterword shows each of the eggs in real size, and provides a progression of a duckling growing inside his egg...

Having greatly enjoyed Posada's subsequent Who Was Here?: Discovering Wild Animal Tracks, with its interactive question and answer format, and alternation between simple rhyming descriptions and more detailed informational passages in prose, I was happy to discover that Guess What Is Growing Inside This Egg features the same structure. I think that this works very well, not just in imparting information, but in keeping young readers and listeners involved in the reading process. The accompanying collage style artwork here is likewise engaging, and adds to the reading pleasure. Recommended to young animal lovers and naturalists. ( )

Kids will enjoy reading, or hearing, this book. It's about baby animals and the eggs they are hatched from. Students will have fun guessing what animal comes out of each egg, and then when the page is turned, a brief description of the animal is given. ( )

This is a charming and informative book for children. Of course, who doesn't like baby animals?! But it is an informative book, and I could see myself reading and showing this book to my former first and second graders. My favorite in this book was the octopus! ( )
