Help a flock of hens find their matching eggs in Hatch and Match: A Springtime Seek-and-Find, a picture book by Ruth Paul.
Every morning, same but new,
hear the COCK-A-DOODLE-DOO!
Hens jump down, stretch their legs.
Can you help them find their eggs?
Amid a kaleidoscope of colors, chickens with spots, stripes, and zigzags are scritching and scratching and looking for their eggs. There are eggs in a haystack, under a tree, inside a barn, and even tucked in a shoe. Who can help the hens find the eggs that match them before they hatch into chicks? —Synopsis provided by Candlewick
This delightful picture book is sure to be a hit with young readers. Bouncy, rhythmic text encourages readers to help find matching eggs using colors, patterns and counting. Ruth Paul’s bright illustrations really take the concept over the top. This one’s a lot of fun.
