Caldecott Honor - First The Egg By: Laura Vaccaro Seeger

    


     Seeger is an Emmy-winning artist and the author/illustrator of several other children's books such as: The Hidden Alphabet, Lemons Are Not Red, Walter Was Worried, and Black? White? Day? Night!  All of these books were named Child Magazine Best Books of the year and ALA Notable books.  Her most recent book is Dog and Bear.
     Seeger does an amazing job answering the age-old question- "Which came first, the chicken or the egg?" with her illustrations and clever use of shapes and colors.  This book reminds me of the timeless classic The Hungry Little Caterpillar, because each page displays a bit of color and anticipation of what is going to be on the next page.
