Hamsters, Gerbils, Guinea Pigs, Rabbits, Ferrets, Mice, and Rats: How to Choose and Care for a Small Mammal Book

I picked this book up particularly thinking of primary students who may hatch chicks in the spring and looking for an additional book to look at animals that lay eggs and life cycles. This book does a good job of this and know of some primary teachers that would use this book. The reader is given an image of an egg with a parent or in its habitat and asked to guess What is growing inside the egg. The following pages provide the answer with additional information about the egg, animal and place where the egg may be hatched. At the back of the book, the reader can see diagrams of actual eggs sizes of the six animals introduced and then the life cycle of a duckling. The types of animals introduces include birds, reptiles, an arachnid and a mollusk (octopus). A great supplementary addition to collections
