Thank you NetGalley and Charlesbridge for accepting my request to read and review Whose Egg Is That?

A humingbird's egg is smaller than a dime. While surprised by the humingbird egg, the fictitious Happy Feet led me to the correct answer in this book with no surprises to the egg truth of a penguin. This nonfiction children's book may have a fact or two on your favorite species and their eggs.

I found this entertaining and educational. The illustrations are nice. They are colorful and smart representative of nonfiction, not a comic.

I would gift this.

I received this ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Such a great book about different animal eggs and beautiful illustrations!

I thought that this was a lovely book to read!

The illustrations were great and they really brought the story to life

It was a great way of learning as it was fun too and even though it is short it had quite a lot of content and a good variety of species. I loved that the mix was between birds and other animals too

It is 5 stars from me for this one – very highly recommended!

My kids love these type books where they need to guess which animal it is. This one has such great illustrations and information about the animal that lays the eggs. It has a good mix of species of animals. The extra egg facts at the end were great, too.

Discover different kinds of eggs and the different types of animals who lay them in this delightful book. Each egg and its parent animal is described using vocabulary terms and concepts important for children to develop key early literacy skills. The illustrations are beautifully done and supplement the format and text of the book.

Who Egg is That? is a super cute book that kids would love to learn more about egg-laying animals. Colors and descriptions are used as well as beautiful illustrations.

Written by a mammologist at the Smithsonian (so you’re not you’re getting some education and solid learning, in addition to just some pure fun with animals), this engaging, interactive little book pairs seven different eggs with information about the animal, allowing your little ones to guess which animal laid the egg. From penguins to platypus, your kiddos will learn about animals and be completely captivated with the guessing game within.

Thanks to Netgalley and Charlesbridge for a free digital copy.

A great little primer on eggs and their different, shapes, sizes, locations, etc. Gives a broad overview and some great differing examples of species that lay eggs.

A beautifully illustrated book, from the series 'Whose is that?' describing eggs from different animals. The format was engaging, with use of large illustrations and simple text. The book would be ideal for use in Early Years education. The language was not technical but descriptive and felt accessible for young children.

Towards the end of the book, there is an additional page of extra egg facts. This has a little more substance to it , introducing slightly more complex, scientific language than seen in the main text: murre, cavity, dime (would need adjusting for audiences from a different country) fossilised, saliva. It did feel like the two sections of the book were aimed at different aged children. I think a small glossary would have been effective here to unpack this language in a simple way that was still appropriate for younger children.

Overall, a lovely book to introduce young children to animals that lay eggs.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for gifting me this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Thanks to NetGalley and Charlesbridge for the free copy in exchange for an honest review.

I love birds! Any bird really, but especially penguins. I also love platypuses, so when I saw this book with both on the cover I immediately requested it. And, let me tell you, it did not disappoint! At the start of the book you are presented with an illustration of an egg, and you try to guess what animal laid it. Simple, but very effective. The illustrations are gorgeous and the facts about each animal are interesting without being overwhelming. I will be reading this with my niece and nephew.

Thank you to the publisher and author for a copy of this children's nonfiction in exchange for honest feedback. I honestly thought this was an excellently executed book. The book aims to be a guessing game that explores the connections between animals and their eggs/habitats. The book allows for readers to get involved in the learning process, which personally I find the most gratifying and resulting in long lasting knowledge. Great process and illustrations.

This simple picture book shows a variety of eggs and then reveals the type of animal that layed the egg. The eggs are described using a variety of adjectives, including colours, size and texture. The font is large and there is limited text on a page. The text is appropriately placed and easy to read, making this book very accessible. The beautiful illustrations help tell the story and encourage readers to examine the egg for ideas of who it could belong to. As a grade 3 teacher, I would recommend this book to parents and teachers of children in the age 3-7 range. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for giving me the chance to read and review this book!

Super cute illustrations, great facts. Would have liked it to be 2-3 animals longer, but overall, really enjoyed this book. Will be rereading w my 3 and 6yos

This book was so cute! As a preschool teacher I love when non-fiction books offer fun ways for children to connect with the material. This book offered a fun guessing game which allows children to use context clues to guess which animal the egg belongs to. I can already think of so many ways to extend this book into the class and can’t wait to add it to my classroom library.
