Turn the page to find the answer along with a short paragraph of further information set on a full-bleed scene of the creature and its nest. Interestingly, birds are not the only animals featured; following robin, ostrich, penguin, and killdeer eggs, we see the fossilized egg of a dinosaur, a leatherback sea turtle’s egg buried in the sand, and even an egg belonging to a mammal—a platypus. The simple, two-level text (both using relatively large type) offers options for beginning readers; the images will show well to a group. The fun is in the puzzle, so those reading this aloud should be sure to give their audience time to react. For those intrigued by the subject, there are further facts on a final page.

This informative book looks at various eggs and prompts the reader to guess to whom the egg belongs to. From emperor penguins to dinosaurs, this book provides information regarding each egg, the mammal it belongs to, and its habitat. Geared for younger children, this book would be an interesting and engaging read for a STEM class introducing a lesson on eggs. Due to its repetitive nature and inclusion of simple short facts, this book may be deemed as uninteresting for older children or those more acquainted with various mammals. The images within are colorfully detailed, with emphasis on the uniqueness of each mammals' egg. Towards the end of the book is a two page spread of egg facts which are sure to pique the interest of older children. For the animal lover in your life and classroom, this book will be perfect to read aloud.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - - - - ENTER DOWNLOADABLES BELOW - - - - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDownloadables\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\" data-mce-style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/0101\/files\/whose-egg-is-that-cover.jpg?v=1660330883\" style=\"display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" data-mce-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/0101\/files\/whose-egg-is-that-cover.jpg?v=1660330883\" data-mce-style=\"display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"btn-wrapper\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/0101\/files\/whose-egg-is-that-cover-hires.jpg.zip?v=1660330883\" class=\"product-btn\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/0101\/files\/whose-egg-is-that-cover-hires.jpg.zip?v=1660330883\"\u003eDownload the Cover\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - - - - - ENTER DETAILS BELOW - - - - - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDetails\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardcover\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003eISBN: 978-1-62354-329-7\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAges: 3-7\u003cbr\u003ePage count: 32\u003cbr\u003e10 x 7\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBoard Book\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN: 978-1-62354-609-0\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAges: 0-3\u003cbr\u003ePage count: 22\u003cbr\u003e7 x 5\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e[\/TABS]\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2022-08-29T13:32:47-04:00","created_at":"2022-08-29T13:27:06-04:00","vendor":"Charlesbridge","type":"Children's Book","tags":["Browse by Age_Ages 3-6","Browse by Fiction\/Nonfiction_Nonfiction","Browse by Format_Picture Book","Browse by Language_English","Browse by Subject_Animals \u0026 Dinosaurs","Browse by Subject_Concept Books","Browse by Subject_Science \u0026 Nature"],"price":899,"price_min":899,"price_max":1799,"available":true,"price_varies":true,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":43262190158061,"title":"Hardcover","option1":"Hardcover","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"43297","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":{"id":37750732751085,"product_id":7914845372653,"position":1,"created_at":"2022-08-29T13:30:36-04:00","updated_at":"2022-08-29T13:30:37-04:00","alt":null,"width":600,"height":420,"src":"\/\/charlesbridgeteen.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/whose-egg-is-that-cover.jpg?v=1661794237","variant_ids":[43262190158061]},"available":true,"name":"Whose Egg Is That?

Whose Egg Is That?

Board book edition coming June 10, 2025. Pre-order today!

By: Darrin Lunde / Illustrated by: Kelsey Oseid

Who will this egg become?

From the creators of the best-selling Whose Poop Is That? and Whose Footprint Is That? comes another guess-who-I-am book that explores the connections between an animal, its eggs, and its habitat.

Written by a mammalogist at the Smithsonian, this clever preschool page-turner pairs seven eggs with information about the animals' survival mechanisms, asking kids to guess which animal laid which egg. Whose Egg Is That? reveals the animals—ranging from penguins to platypuses—in their own habitats."

Kirkus Reviews

Guess whose egg this is.

The format of this interactive introduction to egg identification is unchanged from previous titles in the series (Whose Footprint Is That?, 2019, etc.). On one spread, set against a blank background, the title question is asked, the egg is shown, and a clue—perhaps a part of the creature or a glimpse of its habitat—is given. Turn the page to find the answer along with a short paragraph of further information set on a full-bleed scene of the creature and its nest. Interestingly, birds are not the only animals featured; following robin, ostrich, penguin, and killdeer eggs, we see the fossilized egg of a dinosaur, a leatherback sea turtle’s egg buried in the sand, and even an egg belonging to a mammal—a platypus. The simple, two-level text (both using relatively large type) offers options for beginning readers; the images will show well to a group. The fun is in the puzzle, so those reading this aloud should be sure to give their audience time to react. For those intrigued by the subject, there are further facts on a final page. The creators’ choice of subjects is thoughtful, the information accurate, and the design appealing, making this a solid addition to a nature shelf even if it already includes Mia Posada’s Guess What Is Growing Inside this Egg? (2007).
