Description
Crack the code of the incredible egg in this beautifully illustrated nonfiction picture book. Hatching a plan for survival isn't always easy in the wild. Animals lay, protect, and even use each other's eggs as a food source to reveal the life cycle of the natural world. Eggs come in all shapes and sizes, from the ostrich's massive one to tiny ones that require a microscope to spot. To survive, animals hide their eggs and disguise them in clever ways. Some abandon their eggs, while others protect them fiercely and carry them wherever they go. The animal kingdom's fight for survival begins with the simple yet extraordinary egg. There are as many kinds of eggs as there are animals that depend on them, highlighting the remarkable diversity of life in nature.
