Reading age: 3+ years

This is a robust, solid boardbook perfect for early readers and small hands to discover more about delicious eggs.

Readers are taken on a simple narrative which starts in the morning when a hen lays an egg, through to cooking and eating the egg, to the nighttime when the hen goes back to sleep.

This is a lovely resource to introduce readers to basic vocabulary around all things to do with eggs, through fun, rhyming text.

Reinforced with colourful illustrations that even non-readers will be able to understand, these flood the pages and help create an immersive experience.
