An egg is quiet

Award-winning artist Sylvia Long has teamed with up-and-coming author Dianna Aston to create this gorgeous and informative introduction to eggs. From tiny hummingbird eggs to giant ostrich eggs, oval ladybug eggs to tubular dogfish eggs, gooey frog eggs to fossilized dinosaur eggs, it magnificently captures the incredible variety of eggs and celebrates their beauty and wonder. The evocative text is sure to inspire lively questions and observations. Yet while poetic in voice and elegant in design, the book introduces children to more than 60 types of eggs and an interesting array of egg facts. Even the endpapers brim with information. A tender and fascinating guide that is equally at home being read to a child on a parent's lap as in a classroom reading circle.

  • "Eine Homage an das Ei: Ein Buch zum Staunen. Über sechzig Eier werden vorgestellt, in den unterschiedlichsten Farben und Formen, vom Strauss über den Lachs zur Harlekinwanze. Haben Sie gewusst, wie die Eier der Feldgrille aussehen und dass die Eier der Seeschildkröten rund sind? War Ihnen bekannt, dass ein Heuschreckenembryo im Ei auf günstiges Wetter wartet und ein versteinertes Dinosaurierei mit einer Größe von fast einem halben Meter gefunden worden ist? Neben der Darstellung der unterschiedlichsten Eier wird auch auf ihre Tarnung, die Entwicklungsphasen des Embryos, den Moment des Ausschlüpfens und auf Jungvögel eingegangen. Sehr ansprechende, kunstvolle und detailgetreue Illustrationen sind verspielt mit Wissenswertem verknüpft. Den Autorinnen ist es gelungen, eine künstlerisch sehr ansprechende Bilderwelt mit clever platzierter, gleichermaßen informativer wie poetisch anmutender Information zu verbinden. Es ist faszinierend, das Buch anzuschauen und immer wieder Neues zu entdecken. Die Begeisterung für die Wunder der Natur wird geweckt. Ein Kunstwerk. Ab 7 Jahren, *****, Peter Huber."
