Review

"With its even rhythm, clearly expressed concept, and strong visuals, this book would make a great read-aloud for preschoolers; it could also serve as a beginning reader, a simple introduction to developmental biology, an example of logical sequencing, and a launch-pad for creative writing."

"[A]n eye-catching reminder that 'making it new' is always possible and that learning can be made sheer delight."

"[C]leverly conceived and executed cutouts reinforce the book's tactile appeal even as they propel the page turns. The book's tidy square shape showcases the simple objects; its relatively small trim size is the perfect balance for the lushness of the art. The best picture books create a world in themselves, and this tour de force is one of them."

Synopsis

A picture book about transformations.

Annotation

This cumulative picture book follows how things grow with very simple text and clever illustrations. An egg hatches and becomes a chicken, while a seed soon becomes a flower, and so on. With thick, vividly colored paintings and numerous cut-outs, this a 2008 Caldecott Honor Book and a Theodore Seuss Geisel Honor Book, as well as a 2007 New York Times Best Illustrated Book.
