First the Egg
Author(s): Laura Vaccaro Seeger
First the egg, then the chicken. First the seed, then the flower. First the word, then the story. First the paint, then the picture. This is a book about transformations! from tadpole to frog, from caterpillar to butterfly. But it is also a book about creativity - as paint becomes picture, word becomes story! and commonplace becomes extraordinary.
