In terms of counting, this book is fine -- my little I read it to had fun counting the animals and the eggs they came from. However, I thought this book would have us guessing as to which animal was coming out of each egg but in every case we could either the entire adult animal or enough of it or they were simply listed. Where was the guessing or learning what different eggs look like? We can practice counting in numerous ways but I was disappointed that this didn't focus on helping me or the little I read it with to learn more about the uniqueness of eggs. Missed educational opportunity! Less "peeking" as well than I thought there would be and my little struggled with lifting the flaps since the directions changed on each two-page spread.

This counting book has cute, colorful illustrations. Each two-page spread shows the numeral, the word for the number, the corresponding number of eggs, then (under the flap) the corresponding number of baby animals. It also shows the mother animal in its habitat and has a riddle so the child can guess what kind of animal the mother and babies are.

It can be enjoyed by preschoolers at different cognitive levels. Babies and young toddlers can enjoy the colorful pictures of the animals. As they get older, they can learn numbers, facts about the animals and try to solve the riddle.

This was cute and fun for F (2) and L (6). Big sister was able to help read it to little sister, looking for the sight words she knows. And both girls liked lifting the flaps and seeing if they had guessed the correct animal that would hatch from the egg(s).

Lovely counting book. it is a lift-the-flap board book, and it has animal eggs as its counting medium.
