It definitely does the job, though I would have personally enjoyed more pictures of the different stages of development inside the embryo (since I own chickens and have had this conversation before with my kids.)

Genre: Nonfiction; Concept: Math
Age: Pre K-4th
Lexile: NF
Synopsis: "Chicken and Egg" describes, in detail, how a chick comes from an egg. Every other page is a photograph of a point in that process. It goes from the fertilization of the egg through chick development, incubation, hatching, and learning to eat. The last page includes a pictorial summary, with an index of vocabulary words.
Concepts/Ideas for Instruction: Math: Sequencing (ordinal numbers); Science: Life Cycle; Having students translate these images into a timeline, or allowing students to process the operations involved, gives them an opportunity to think through beginning-to-ending, or a repeated cycle. It also gives students a chance to familiarize themselves with important vocabulary words.
