Lin, Grace. Where Are the Eggs? Grace Lin, Illus. Storytelling Math Series; bk. 5. Charlesbridge, 03/2023. [16]pp. Picture Book. GRADES Baby/Toddler – Preschool. $7.99. 978-1-62354-346-4. ADDITIONAL.
Part of the Storytelling Math series, this board book stars Asian American Mei, who is searching the yard for eggs laid by her chickens (not Easter eggs). She asks readers where she should look, and children will be able to spot the eggs in the illustrations. The text gives clues and spells out where the eggs are found, such as “next to the watering can.” The full-color artwork appears to be done using gouache, and is not overly detailed, making it easy for very young children to find the eggs. This would work well for a toddler storytime.
