Information-packed book details the life and habits of the wild turkey, including what it eats, how it raises its young and where it is found. Inserts of text and pictures provide detail on each topic.

Humorous song, filled with factual information about turkeys.

Simple but scientifically accurate commentary and exuberantly colorful graphics take young readers on an entertaining exploration of DNA.

More than five hundred full-color, life-size, sequential photographs, with captions and text, explain the story of bird, reptile, insect, fish, and amphibian development, from the initial signs of growth through the struggle to hatch.

Diagrams, definitions of such words as flock, breed, rooster, and gizzard, and close-up views help viewers and readers understand more about raising chickens. Gibbons informs readers that a chicken can lay unfertilized eggs as well as fertilized, shows the development of chicks within the shell, and indicates how some chicks are raised under artificial conditions. A double-page spread shows different breeds, cutaways show the function of a gizzard, and the development of an egg within a hen. While the book is more complex than many preschoolers and kindergartners are used to, it suits perfectly those farm units where children's questions can be easily answered.

Information about such things as pecking order, predators, chick hatching and more.

Eight chapters divide the text into broad topics such as getting started, coosing a breed, housing equipment, etc. Line drawings and charts provide additional information, and at least one photo appears on almost every page.

The duck narrates her story from birth to one and a half or two years of age, when they give birth. Clear, candid full-color photos of the animals are very expressive. All are placed on a white background, creating a spacious, uncluttered effect. Each spread has a brief chapter heading and is decorated with miniature drawings at the top and bottom. The text, which totals five to seven sentences per chapter, is strategically placed beside the appropriate pictures. The amount of information is limited, but in terms of eye appeal and ease of understanding for those youngsters who are just beginning to experience the thrill of reading independently, these titles are an overwhelming success.

The book opens with an egg cutout, which, with a page turn, becomes a plump yellow chick; tadpole morphs into frog; seed grows into flower. A daub of pigment similarly evolves into a painted landscape incorporating chicken, frog and flower. Seeger's final pages bring us full circle: the chicken returns to its nest and lays "the egg!"

Excellent illustrations of the egg-laying anatomy of the hen, structure of the egg and embroy to chick development process and hatching process. Discusses which eggs are fertile and why and explains that the eggs children eat for breakfast are not fertile.
