Not One Word Too Many


First the Egg, by Laura Vaccaro Seeger

First the egg, then the chicken.

First the tadpole, then the frog.

First the word, then the story.

A wonderful simple story that flows off the tongue. Perfect for discussing change and growth. A great writing model. The pictures complement the text perfectly with cutouts displaying just a part of the next page. Poetic and wonderful.
