Small Speckled Egg
Start Small, Think Big sets readers on a journey of discovery, beginning with small miracles of life and connecting them to the big picture of our natural world. Each book features a large fold-out illustration on the final pages.
Small Speckled Egg starts with an egg. The fluffy chick that
emerges is an Arctic tern - one of the most remarkable
creatures on the planet. The story of her life is told clearly and
carefully in a way that builds understanding. The illustrations
draw the reader into the tern's world to watch her grow from
chick to juvenile, and marvel at her long migration from the
top of the world to the bottom and back again. It's a journey
she does every year of her life. The story ends with her
meeting her lifelong mate and the 50 adorable chicks they
have in their lifetime. To make this a truly special elementary-science picture book,
there is a big fold-out map; an illustrated lifecycle; big-
thinking stats and facts, and an I-Spy to take young readers
back into in the book to find the polar animals. This book also features a die cut hole in the cover.
