Books that teach children about nature even as they enchant and engage the eye are the best books of all. An Egg Is Quiet is a gorgeous and elegant book that introduces children to the wonder of an egg - all sorts of eggs, for that matter.
Written by amateur-naturalist-at-heart Dianna Aston, this magical book celebrates the egg and its role in the circle of life. From tiny hummingbird eggs to slimy salmon eggs, giant ostrich eggs to teeny insect eggs, kids see the actual sizes of eggs from a wide spectrum of creatures of sky, land and sea, and learn all about how eggs grow and change and evolve.
With detailed and colorful paintings by noted children’s book illustrator Sylvia Long, An Egg Is Quiet presents tons of facts and information about more than sixty kinds of eggs of all sizes and shapes, evoking a sense of awe and wonder for the natural world that so many kids today have little access to.
Perhaps, like the humble egg that later hatches into a glorious living creature ready to take on the world, this beautiful book will hatch many a curious and imaginative child into someone who loves and respects nature in all its magnificence.
