Chickens Aren't the Only Ones
Children will enjoy listening to you read this delightful book about egg-laying animals and their unique eggs. The colorful illustrations in this story are vivid and make the book come alive with fascinating detail. The words in rhyme tell this story in an informational, but highly interesting way that will attract children. They will want to read it again to be sure they do not miss any of the remarkable pictures this book offers. The pages about the octopus and insects are my most favorite because they tell their story in such a simple way. This book would be an excellent resource for children beginning to learn about egg-laying animals. I would recommend this book to everyone who loves great picture books.

Birds,snakes, lizards,crocodiles, turtles, dinosaurs, frogs, toads, salamanders, fish, seahorses, sharks, rays, snails, spiders, insects, and a couple of mammal-like critters all lay eggs.

My Preschool and Kindergarten ESL students love it! I'd give it ten stars if I could.
