When I think of  eggs, I usually start with those of chickens. The same is true in this book, before it branches out to other farm laying fowl: , turkey, ducks, guinea fowl, pigeons, and geese. Then, it branches off to birds in the wild: swallow, robin, crow, black bird, owl, and ostrich. Followed by reptiles in soft leather-like shells: snakes, turtles, and crocodiles. Followed by: dragonfly, lady bug, louse, spider, mosquito, slug, cod, flying fish, ray, oyster, mussel, shrimp, and crab.

BEFORE all of this branching though, through the use of transparent pages, three different cross sectional views of a chick developing and growing inside of the egg will be ooooh and ahhhed over by the young and older reader alike.

The book closes with pictures of eggs prepared to be eaten by people: fried eggs, sturgeon eggs, salmon eggs, hard boiled eggs, and a chocolate Easter egg.
