Where Are the Eggs?

Thank you, Charlesbridge, for the advance reading copy.

You know this little girl looks like me when I was that age. Not kidding!

I love the book. I could relate with it so much!

However, I feel the book could have been perfect with better editing of the illustrations.

Math...hurray! Caldecott Honor winner Grace Lin celebrates math for every kid, everywhere!

Mei, an adorable little girl, goes on an egg hunt searching for eggs that have been laid all over her yard. She discovers an egg next to a watering can, behind a flower pot, inside a wheelbarrow ... and guess where else? Under a real live chicken! Fantastic!

The young reader is invited to join her in her search and will discover spatial sense as they do.

" Storytelling Math celebrates children using math in their daily adventures as they play, build, and discover the world around them. Joyful stories and hands-on activities make it easy for kids and their grown-ups to explore everyday math together. Developed in collaboration with math experts at STEM education nonprofit TERC, under a grant from the Heising-Simons Foundation."


This playful, fun book is perfect for the targeted age group: Baby-3 years old. The illustrations are bold, bright, engaging and kid-friendly. It's always wonderful when you can incorporate exploring mathematical concepts into the every day lives of kids and make it fun! I highly recommend "Where Are the Eggs?"

This is my go-to board book series to buy for the littles in my life. Multi-award winning author Grace Lin brings her incredible talents to the board book pages to show the youngest among us how math is fun, and all around us. Focusing on spatial sense such as "under" and "next to," Lin takes the reader on search-and-find adventure to find the eggs the chickens have laid. Another excellent addition to the series!

The eggs are under, the eggs are behind, the eggs are next to.... where will the eggs be next?

This kid's book is written and illustrated in classic Grace Lin style and if YOU don't know what that means, it means it is sure to be AMAZING!!!

Not only is this a charming tale of a little girl looking for eggs in her back yard, but this book is also a "story telling math book. This book introduces young readers about spatial relationships, and this is important for children to comprehend and recount the environment around them.

I especially love the "Try This" section at the back of the book for Parents to add to the reading experience.
*FYI- if you follow Grace Lin on her Facebook page you will see some of her own chickens in her backyard :)

Grateful to have received a digital copy of this book from NetGalley & Charlesbridge.

This book is interactive. A true game of hide and seek. Great book for infants and toddlers. Working towards problem solving and math.

The chickens have laid the eggs but can we find them all?

This is a cute little story promoting math and 'spatial sense'.

Thank you NetGalley and Charlesbridge for the opportunity to read and review this book.

Part of the “Storytelling Math” series, this board book stars Asian American Mei, who is searching the yard for eggs laid by her chickens (not Easter eggs). She asks readers where she should look, and children will be able to spot the eggs in the illustrations. The text gives clues and spells out where the eggs are found, such as “next to the watering can.” The full color artwork appears to be done using gouache, and is not too detailed, making it easy for very young children to find the eggs. This would work well for a toddler storytime.

This book is very simple. I like the aspect of showing children special awareness in an easy way. Not a super compelling or interesting book, but my children thought it was cute and it did it’s kind of teaching them.

I fully admit to loving Grace Lin's books. Her multi-cultural illustrations are well past needed and much appreciated in children's literature.

Where Are the Eggs is part of a series that teaches young children basic math concepts. Mei's chickens have laid eggs all over her yard and she is tasked with finding and collecting them. In the process of searching for the eggs we are not only shown where they are, but Mei uses positional words to tell us where they are. Other activities are included to help your little ones further explore spatial relationships.

I absolutely adore this book. My girls LOVED searching for hidden objects in picture books. Not only that, but being Asian, they would've loved seeing a face in a children's book that resembled their own.

Many thanks to Charlesbridge for providing an ARC via Netgalley

Where was this book when I had teenagers who could never find ANYTHING right in front of their noses!? Not a conventional book about numbers, but rather an exploration of spatial skills and the art of seeking.
The illustrations by the author are fun, simple, colorful, and delightful explorations of finding eggs on the farm.
Well suited for reading WITH someone of any age including ESL, and great for gifting to anyone, but especially to a school or your public library!
I requested and received a free temporary e-book on Adobe Digital Editions from Charlesbridge via NetGalley. Thank you!

The positional words in this book were great for my preschooler. We enjoyed talking about other words we could describe the eggs positions with as we read.

Where Are the Eggs is another great math book for toddlers from Grace Lin! It's introduction of figuring out where items are in location to other objects is simple and easy to understand.

"I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own."

I'm really enjoying this series. Where's the Eggs? Is a great learning tool to share with children. Once again the Try This page gives fun ideas to try and helps reinforce the lessons learned

Perfect for early childhood classrooms to address preposition words! A young girl collects eggs and uses positioning words as she finds them. It is also a great book for those little ones who love finding eggs.

Where are the Eggs? features a young girl, Mei looking for eggs around her yard. The series teaches young readers math concepts through stories. It also has different location vocabulary words for students to learn from. Recommended for ages 3-5
