2008 Notable Books for Children


First the Egg by Laura Vaccaro Seeger is a book of "firsts". It has a very creative way of showing how somethings come first and then last. Through the bright pages of the book, there is a space on each page where some part of it it cut to show the other page behind it. Each of the cuts, show a different object that in some way is something else on the next. First things like an egg, tadpole, seed, word are then followed by what happens next in each existence. So, which came first, the egg or the chicken? Or the chicken or the egg??! Huh?!
