There are so many animals that lay eggs - many of them might not have occurred to you - while others will be very familiar - Green Sea Turtle; Mud Crab; echidna; cicada; tarantula; tawny frogmouth, Green Tree Frog; Platypus; Bearded Dragon; Brush Turkey; and crocodile.
Hatch is a perfect book - it is a non fiction, it covers a fascinating topic, and it has wonderful illustrations - well done to our Australian publisher CSIRO Publishing. AND there is a glossary and an four pages of extra facts. The end papers are also perfect - eggs at the front and babies at the back. There are teachers notes on the publisher page.
A few days ago I talked about a couple of other new books from CSIRO Publishing and I mentioned that to my eye their illustrations were not as good as previous books from this company. Books from the series Nature Storybooks (formerly Read and Wonder) from a different publisher always use the very best illustrators and I commented that it would be great if these splendid books from CSIRO Publishing could emulate this.
I am happy to say Hatch, published in 2025, is perfect.
Other books about eggs:
Other CSIRO Publishing titles - pop CSIRO into my search bar - I have talked about Bear to the Rescue; Look, see find me; The World from here; and Mystery of the Missing Turtles.
