Egg to Chicken by Camilla de la Bedoyere opens with a
discussion of birds and their characteristics through contrasting looks at
chickens, gulls, and ostriches. Double-page spreads cover the topics of nest
building, egg laying, brooding, and the development of the baby chick. The final pages discuss how chicks mature
into adults.
True
to the series concept, the text
is readily accessible for children and accented with illustrations featuring
crisp, up-close photographs, and clearly labeled diagrams. Notes for parents
and teachers provide related activities for further exploration. Bold-faced
terms scattered through the content are clearly defined in the glossary. An
index completes the 24 page paperback book.
