Small Speckled Egg - Mary Auld

Descriere

n n n n n n n nStart Small, Think Big sets readers on a journey of discovery, beginning with small miracles of life and connecting them to the big picture of our natural world. Each book features a large fold-out illustration on the final pages. nSmall Speckled Egg starts with an egg. The fluffy chick that nemerges is an Arctic tern - one of the most remarkable ncreatures on the planet. The story of her life is told clearly and ncarefully in a way that builds understanding. The illustrations ndraw the reader into the tern's world to watch her grow from nchick to juvenile, and marvel at her long migration from the ntop of the world to the bottom and back again. It's a journey nshe does every year of her life. The story ends with her nmeeting her lifelong mate and the 50 adorable chicks they nhave in their lifetime. To make this a truly special elementary-science picture book, nthere is a big fold-out map; an illustrated lifecycle; big- nthinking stats and facts, and an I-Spy to take young readers nback into in the book to find the polar animals. This book also features a die cut hole in the cover.n n n n
