This book is a fun-filled book about all the different animals that lay eggs. It gives facts in a way that is very enjoyable to read. It starts out about chickens and works its way through many differnet animals such as the frogs and dinosaurs.

I thought this book was great, because it was full of

facts. But it was so much fun for me to read. I am defenitely going to add this book to my classroom collection.
As a classroom extension i am going to have my students create differnt types of eggs we discovered throughout this book out of art supplies. Another one is this is going to become a classroom bullentin board and my students are going to get to add creatures that they know of that lay eggs to our board.

This book is good for young beginner learners and for children learning to read. Informs children as to what types of animals lay eggs.

Retelling: What animals are similar to a chicken? Birds, I suppose. But many other animals are like a chicken in that they lay eggs! This book shows you just how many different kinds of animals lay eggs.

Thoughts and Feelings: After learning about all those different animals that lay eggs, it’s

hard to believe that humans don’t! I have a fish called a Platy that doesn't lay eggs. I watched it give live birth!

This is a wonderful story about oviparous creatures that live on earth. "Chickens aren't the Only Ones" refers to those who lay eggs and those who don't. This colorful book has many pictures that are useful for the reader when trying to identify different species of animals. I like that this is

part of a series that focuses on nature, it is important for children to become familiar with the world around them. The text in this book is also laid out in an artful way that makes it more fun to read. I think this is a great book and it would make a wonderful addition to any classroom.

Ruth Heller, who passed away in 2004, received a degree in Fine Arts from University of California, Berkeley in 1946. Her first job as a designer and artist was for Cost Plus, designing napkins, matchboxes and gift wrap. In 1980 after visiting Yaddo, an artists' colony in New York in 1980 she

decided to start a new writing and illustrating career. Source Wikipedia.com.
The reviewer for "The New Yorker," wrote of this book, "[This] highly original book, on the improbably subject of eggs. . .Simple enough for three-year-olds, and complex enough for those considerably older."
