Eggs Are Everywhere

Chronicle, illus. by Wednesday Kirwan. Chronicle, $10.99 (10p) ISBN 978-1-4521-7457-0

In this interactive board book, readers can nudge a side wheel to reveal tiny patterned eggs hidden behind flaps on each page: “Turn the wheel to choose an egg. Then, guess where the egg might be hiding.” As the wheel turns, readers can choose between two baskets, hands, cups, or other obscuring objects that the eggs are hidden in, behind, or under (“Guess which BASKET!... Guess which CUP!”). Kirwan’s illustrations, rendered in a spring palette, complement the spare text with a plenitude of details, including smiling critters, sweet blooms, and a freckled, brown-skinned child. Though the volume offers little narrative, its interactivity should provide plenty of guessing-game enjoyment for the youngest readers. Ages 2–4. (Feb.)
