First the Egg Audiobook

" great book for critical thinking "

" A Caldecott and Theodor Seus Geisel Honor book - this is a delightful picture book with peek through pages. Very few words accompany the wonderful paintings. A great read-aloud book for preschoolers!!! "

" Very vibrant colors and large words. Great beginner book. I love the artwork! C. 2007, genre-picture book/concept "

" Marvelous sequencing picture book which shows a simple 3 step series of metamorphoses for a egg> chicken, tadpole> frog, seed> flower, etc. Very appropriate for the "now, next" construction we're trying to teach to my son (now we brush our teeth, next we read the story) but I love it even more for the magic of transformation and the softly magnificent illustrations. "

" Cute story that shows a before and after view with interesting pictures and clever cut outs. I thought for a moment that it might solve the mystery of which came first, but alas, the book comes full circle, so the mystery stands. Our girls liked this story. "

" I liked this book a lot. The author did a good job at tackling the never ending question of which can first? the egg or the chicken. It was nice to see that question in a variety of forms. It also shows children that there are many ways things can come about and it is not really the order in which something happens but rather what is the end result. The artwork in the book was very pretty and I enjoyed how creative the book was when moving from page to page, it flowed easily. "

" Very cute book that shows relationships between objects such as the egg, and the chicken. Very nice concept books for younger children. "

" Explores what comes first, like: egg/chicken, seed/flower, word/story. Pretty illustrations. "

" Age-old philosophy in three words per page. One read-through and my three-year-old was obsessed and could read it to herself. "

" ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS BOOK! It is short, sweet, and too the point, which I think it partially what makes it so great! it shows the reader throughout the book what would come first in numerous situations which I think would help with there sequential knowledge. The illustrations are fantastic as well! "

" cute kid's book! (the genre i read most these days... "

" I liked this book alot. It is simple, but will make the children guess what comes next. What a cute explanation about what came first...the chicken or the egg. "

" This is a really cool of how things form into full bloom. First the egg, then a chicken. First a seed, then a flower. And so on, great pictures for young students. "

" Cute book for young listeners and readers. Interesting pictures, incorporating shapes and colors from pictures/pages before and after. Good practice for predicting here. "

" Diecut pages. Large text, some words in all capital letters. "

" Very cool book about the age old question of the chicken and the egg. It takes the reader from nature to story to pictures and back to nature with oil painting like illustrations that use cutouts to provide clues of what will happen next. "

" An outstanding book about the progression of animals and things, such as how a painting begins with the paint and a frog starts out as a tadpole. Intriguing picture cut-outs, simple text. My kindergartener read it no problem. It is a Caldecott honor book and a Theodor Seuss Geisel honor book. "

" This book won the Caldecott honor medal for 2007. If the egg comes first, kids need to think about what comes second, and what comes after that. This clever picture book uses cut outs to keep kids guessing as they follow the life-cycles of a number of creatures. A fun book to share with grades K-2. "

" Excellent little cut-out style picture book. Very clear connections between what grows up into what and how (cocoon, tadpole grows legs, etc). Good read aloud. "

" In the tradition of Lemons Are Not Red, First the Egg uses the same cut out style. "
