Which came first: the chicken or the egg? In this storybook, young readers can decide for themselves. Through intricate illustrations, they’ll see the egg inside the chicken; then the chick inside the egg. They’ll also discover which other animals lay eggs – from reptiles and insects, to fish and shellfish – and they’ll learn lots of fun facts along the way. Did you know, hen turkeys can lay up to 100 eggs each year?
