Reviews for Ten Little Eggs

[vintagebeckie · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

I first thought Ten Little Eggs would be an Easter-themed book because of, well, eggs! But this book is a fun family read-aloud for the whole year. There is so much to love about this book — its repetitive rhyme and countdown to the final egg will have your kids “reading” along. The ten eggs in momma bird’s nest reveal some very surprising family members — fun and funny. As the book progresses, the anticipation increases as readers will be guessing just who will show up in the nest next! Illustrations are detailed and oh so cute. I guarantee his book will become a favorite.Recommended.Audience: preschoolers and their families.(Thanks to Zonderkidz for a complimentary copy. All opinions expressed are mine alone.)
