An Egg is Quiet by Dianna Aston(Preschool - Grade 3)
An egg can be so many things author Dianna Aston reveals in An Egg Is Quiet. Kids (and their grownups) familiar only with the humdrum chicken egg at the market will find much to marvel at here. An egg is also colorful, shapely, clever, artistic, and giving as Aston outlines in both preschool-friendly text and more complex notes for older kids. Illustrator Sylvia Long compels the reader to reach out and touch each egg with stunning ink and watercolor images of hundreds of eggs from turkeys to dogfish. At the book's surprise conclusion we quickly learn that an egg is quiet, but it is also so much more.
