Eggs

Birds do it, fish do it, too.  So do butterflies, frogs, and platypuses.  What do they do?  They lay eggs.  This beautifully illustrated picture book is filled with fascinating facts about eggs.  You'll learn that eggs come in all shapes, sizes, colors, and textures, from jelly-covered bullfrog eggs that float to stringy octopus eggs that hang beneath sea ledges. You'll discover that animals protect their eggs in special ways too.  Father seahorses carry eggs carry eggs in their pouch, while Asian cave swiftlet moms keep their eggs safe in a nest made of spit.

As different as they are from one another, all eggs contain a special world, a place where a developing embryo can breathe, grow, and be nourished.  Read this book and you'll never look at eggs the same way again!
