About this book
In the desert lies a nest. What’s inside it? Have you guessed? Lift the flaps and find out! Each spread has flaps to lift to ‘crack’ the eggs and count the animals inside them. There are five different animals to discover in five different habitats – can you guess what they are before you lift the flap? There is a mother animal in the scenery on each spread, which might give you a clue…
From chicks to octopuses, platypuses to crocodiles, and beginning with a solitary tortoise, this is an adventure in learning which animals hatch from eggs. It’s not just birds! Jenny Løvlies’s soft, expressive artwork means that the baby animals are incredibly cute. We are particularly fond of the little octopuses in their translucent eggs in the ocean.
Little hands will love to hold the book, lift the flaps and count aloud. A lovely springtime book that has early learning elements to it.
