Betsy Thompson.
Each spread in this nature counting book features a short bit of text--curved in egg shape around a large numeral--that hints at an egg and animal's identity. Readers lift the flap to reveal the parent and babies. Unusual egg-layer examples, such as fireflies and platypuses, are included. Eye-catching, textured collage art provides additional clues to the animals' identity.
