Laura Vaccaro Seeger

FIRST THE EGG film/dvd

(Weston Woods/Scholastic/June 2009)

(from back cover)

Which came first?  The chicken or the egg?  This is a book about transformations - from egg to chicken, seed to flower and caterpillar to butterfly.  It is an entirely fresh and memorable presentation on the concepts of growth and creativity.  Narrated by Elle Fanning, with music by Jack Sundrud and Rusty Young.  Includes a bonus interview with Laura Vaccaro Seeger.

-starred review/School Library Journal

“This short film is as charming and inspiring as its inspiration… Fascinating and satisfying… This little gem is the perfect introduction to a life cycle unit.”
