Eggs 1, 2, 3: Who Will the Babies Be?

Ten spreads with gatefolds and a culminating dramatic fold-out lead young readers from a single penguin egg to an ostrich's clutch of 10 eggs. Song-like, non-rhyming verse gives clues as to who might hatch. The answer to the repeated refrain, "Who will the babies be?", is found beneath a flap. Besides discovering the animal baby or babies, kids also will pick up a lot of nature terminology and interesting facts about animals, their birthing environments, and habitats.Awards: Maine Librarians Lupine Honor BookCybils FinalistNew York Public Library Children's Best ListGold Best Book Award: Oppenheim Toy Portfolio
