This book teaches me about all of the different types of eggs in the world. Some eggs are big, and some are small. They are all really beautiful and interesting.

Did you know some are even shaped like tubes?

I learned a lot about eggs from this book, and the pictures are really cool! I like to look at them and learn.

It’s amazing to think about a bird’s egg, so fragile, often defying gravity from great heights in a nest, as the life force necessary for a bird’s survival. Stopping to note the little and magnificent things in the natural world truly inspires a sense of curiosity and wonder, and that is what the picture book, An Egg is Quiet, brings to readers. There’s no better way to get to know a bird’s egg - really know the genius of nature – as shared by Dianna Aston’s poetic words and Sylvia Long’s detailed and stunning illustrations.

From Jennifer's list on for budding young birders.
