Summary:  What’s first, the chicken or the egg? This book explains what comes from an egg. What do other things come from? This book tells you what come from the tadpole, the seed, the word, and the paint. The book end in saying first the chicken, then the egg!

This book is great to read to any class to get them thinking. Which one comes first, the chicken or the egg? I would use this to get my students attention at the beginning of the day. They can work in groups to discuss which one they think came first. It is a great way to enhance critical thinking.
