What is First the Egg about?

What comes first: the chicken or the egg? With clever die-cuts and wonderfully simple words, this playful picture book explores how one thing can transform into another. An egg becomes a chicken, a seed becomes a flower, a tadpole becomes a frog and a caterpillar becomes a butterfly. The book also celebrates creativity, showing how paint becomes a picture and words become a story. Each page turn offers a surprising reveal and invites children to imagine what might come next.
