With an intriguing EGG shaped hole on the cover that gets smaller and smaller, this is an ‘eggs-citing Easter egg-escapade!’ for the littlest of readers.
The Story: Bunny starts the egg hunt then Lamb, Puppy, Kitten, Pony and Bluebird each find an Easter egg. Their eggs start to crack and six fluffy chicks hatch.
On each double spread the easy to read rhyming text introduces the child to a different baby animal. The egg shaped hole gets smaller and smaller so that Bluebird finds the smallest egg and when the chicks finally hatch the hole has disappeared. The concept of hatching is introduced very simply, the eggs crack then six little chicks cheep!
Fhiona Galloway’s illustrations are bold, bright and colourful and support the easy to read rhyming text (my daughter has been using this book to practise her reading). I like the spread which shows Puppy’s excitement when he finds his egg underground and my daughter’s favourite spread shows Kitten in a flowerbed (there are several flowers so it’s also a great spread for practising counting).
EGG is one of the books in Little Tiger Kids My Little World series. It is colourful, chunky, sturdy and perfect for little hands to hold. As well as introducing the animals and the idea of eggs hatching it can also encourage counting and stimulate discussions about colour and patterns.

Cute book……giving this instead of chocolate also saves on dental bills.
