How to Hatch: A Gosling’s Guide to Breaking Free
COPY ISBN
K-Gr 3–Bernstein’s delightful illustrations open Ackerman’s narrative with two geese building a nest and then follow a baby goose’s growth inside the egg in close-up detail. Minimal main text guides readers through each step, while side panels provide fascinating explanations of the hatching process, including the air cell, egg tooth, and pipping muscles. Ending pages show the proud parents with their newly hatched goslings, including the one readers have watched develop. Ackerman draws on her own experience observing a goose hatch in kindergarten and from her many hatching projects as a librarian. A glossary rounds out the book, defining key terms encountered in the book.
VERDICT A charming and informative look at life inside an egg that will work beautifully for read-alouds and is an essential addition to all collections.
