First the Egg


First the Egg by Laura Vaccaro Seeger is a beautifully painted book.

The story of the chicken and the egg, along with that of the tadpole and frog and caterpillar and butterfly, are told in this award winning picture book.

The pages are taken from paintings where you can see the brush-strokes. Each page has a cut out of the object of the page - the egg, the seed, the word.
