Editorial Reviews

Children's Literature - Carrie Hane Hung
Follow the life cycle of the chicken from the different stages, egg to chick to adult. There are numerous, color photographs throughout the book. The diagrams are comprised of snapshots to illustrate the life stages and the egg hatching. However, the pictures of the gulls and ostrich in the first chapter of this book distract from the main topic, the chicken. In addition, the nests of other birds draw attention away from the chicken in chapter three. In the sixth chapter, there is an attempt to differentiate between fertilized and unfertilized eggs but the human consumption of eggs does not seem related to the main topic. Adult guidance may be needed for some children to navigate between the main body of the text and the captions. Some children may need an introduction on informational text features such as a glossary, an index, and labels. In the back of the book, teachers and parents will find a note about ideas and tips to try. This book is one of six from the series "Life Cycles" which presents information about different animal life cycles along with a plant life cycle. The rest of the series stays closer to the topic of life cycles in text and pictures. Reviewer: Carrie Hane Hung
