My Review:
Hatch! introduces young children to 11 different oviparous animals (i.e. animals that hatch from eggs) with colorful and realistic watercolor paintings and rhyming text that is music to the ears and easy to remember. For each animal, the text starts with "The egg is hatching. What will we see?" while the corresponding pictures first show a clutch of intact eggs, and then the one in the center starting to crack. This combination cleverly sparks the curious young reader's interest in finding out what animal will come out of the egg. The answer gets revealed as the baby animal sticks its head out and climbs out of the egg entirely.
From birds to reptiles and to insects, the book covers a wide variety of animals that hatch from eggs, including some of children's favorites like ducklings, sea turtles, penguins and tadpoles. The lively drawings not only teach about what each baby animal looks like, but also show how animal eggs may differ in shape, size, color and even texture. Hatch! is an excellent educational picture book for babies and toddlers who are eager to explore the wonderful world around them! It also makes a perfect choice for family bonding time.
