An Egg Is Quiet
An Egg Is Quiet | Dianna Hutts Aston
5 posts | 5 read
Award-winning artist Sylvia Long has teamed with up-and-coming author Dianna Aston to create this gorgeous and informative introduction to eggs. From tiny hummingbird eggs to giant ostrich eggs, oval ladybug eggs to tubular dogfish eggs, gooey frog eggs to fossilized dinosaur eggs, it magnificently captures the incredible variety of eggs and celebrates their beauty and wonder. The evocative text is sure to inspire lively questions and observations. Yet while poetic in voice and elegant in design, the book introduces children to more than 60 types of eggs and an interesting array of egg facts. Even the endpapers brim with information. A tender and fascinating guide that is equally at home being read to a child on a parent's lap as in a classroom reading circle. Plus, this is the fixed format version, which looks almost identical to the print edition.

Perfect for curious minds who love animals! The illustrations appear scientifically accurate representations of many different kinds of eggs - and are of course beautiful. #bbrc #A2Z:E

This book is filled with beautiful illustrations of different animals and their eggs. It provides simple facts about all the different types of eggs and their varied textures, sizes, and colors. I think any kid who is interested in nature would enjoy looking through this book. #picturebooksatoz #bbrc #letterE @LibrarianRyan

This book was also extremely lyrical for a nonfiction book. I thoroughly enjoyed reading about different types of eggs such as hummingbird eggs and ostrich eggs. This would be a great book to read before going on a nature walk to keep an eye on certain types of eggs that you could walk into. I think children would be extremely interested in the pictures.

Rating 4/5
