pickMore beauties from Britta Teckentrup. The Moon peek through book and Before I Wake Up are lovely bedtime stories, while The Egg is actually a fairly substantial collection of facts, primarily related to bird eggs. Gorgeous illustrations throughout all three, but as previously stated, much like Phobe Wahl, I appreciate Britta's nature imagery the most.
pickHow fitting that the first book I‘ve completed in 2018 is about eggs, which are symbolic of new beginnings. This #picturebook nonfiction covers a broad range of fascinating information, delivered in small chunks, and may encourage further exploration of the topics. It‘s a good choice for family shared reading time with younger children. The simple, textured collage-type illustrations are lovely. I will link to similar titles in the comments.
This is my favourite page spread in this book, because when I was a kid, birds we called robins in Canada looked entirely different from the robins described and pictured in British children‘s books that I read. Calling two entirely different birds by the same name is confusing for everyone. Another thing: “robin‘s egg blue” is an unfamiliar concept to my Auckland friend, an avid birder.
the gender of a turtle is determined by the temperature within the nest.
If you squeeze an egg lengthwise it is quite tough to crack. The reason for this toughness is the curvaceous shape of the egg. You can compare it to the strong structure of an arch in architecture.
Eggs have to support the weight of the adult bird, and a chicken egg can support an object as heavy as a large book.
