Editorial Review:

Product Description:
WHICH CAME FIRST?  The chicken or the egg?  Simple die-cuts magically present transformation-- from seed to flower, tadpole to frog, caterpillar to butterfly.
 
The acclaimed author of  Black? White! Day? Night! and Lemons Are Not Red gives an entirely fresh and  memorable presentation to the concepts of transformation and creatiity.  Seed becomes flower, paint becomes picture, word becomes story--and the commonplace becomes extraordinary as children look through and turn the pages of this novel and winning book.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Fun, Fun, Fun
This is a great book...fun for both kids and adults. I love how the pages have cut outs that clue you in to the next page. Fun!

"First the egg," written and illustrated by Laura Vaccaro Seeger, is a Caldecott honor winner for 2008 and an honor book for the Theodor Seuss Geisel (Dr. Seuss) Award. What makes it special? Both the artwork and the story, or actually, in this case, concepts that lead from one transformation to the next. Two previous clever winners are Flotsam (Caldecott Medal Book) by David Wiesner ...

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Which comes first?
A lovely book for young people, with die cut pages that explain some of life's mysteries in an age appropriate way.
