White, brown, blue–eggs come in all kinds of colors. Every egg we eat comes from a bird, typically a hen like Shelly. Shelly Hen Lays Eggs is a simple but effective way to show children (and adults!) the daily life of a free-range hen, where eggs come from, and the labor involved in getting eggs from the farm to the table Featuring attractive collage-style art, the book also includes different species of birds and their different kinds of eggs, a simple recipe using eggs, and more information about chickens.
