Praise for this book

A girl invites readers to look around the yard for eggs with her.

In this installment of the publisher's Storytelling Math series, an Asian girl named Mei sets out to gather the eggs. But where are they? Observant readers will be able to spot (almost) all of them in the first spread of the entire yard, but subsequent pages feature close-ups of each egg. "There's an egg!" The first one is found "next to the watering can." The next is "behind the flowerpot." Each egg is described by a word that designates its special relationship to an object. But after the fourth egg is found, Mei asks, "Where should I look next?" It's not visible...yet! Young readers will be able to find and point to the eggs while caregivers use the positional words to introduce concepts that, according to the endnote, "are important in math, science, and daily life." Bright, solid colors outlined in black make the illustrations warm and inviting. And while the text is minimal, it still exudes charm and invites interaction. Notes at the end help caregivers understand why these concepts are important and suggest other activities and conversations that help children learn and talk about these ideas.

A simple seek-and-find with math learning for the youngest readers.
