What Is the Shape of My Egg? by Lisa Weckbacher is a charming and educational book inviting readers to embark on an enlightening journey alongside the endearing Silkie and her sisters. Silkie’s jubilation over her newfound egg-laying achievement initiates a voyage of self-discovery as her sisters Henrietta, Dreeka, and Dottie unveil the distinction between circles and ovals—a captivating exploration that ultimately imparts invaluable lessons.

Weckbacher artfully constructs a narrative that harmoniously intertwines a captivating storyline with fundamental lessons in farm animal familiarity and geometrical comprehension. The book’s narrative casts a spotlight on circles and ovals, supplemented by the integration of spatial vocabulary. The narrative seamlessly segues into an understanding of two and three-dimensional circular shapes, reinforced by interactive exercises that empower young minds to embrace their developing geometric understanding.

This children’s book is a literary gem tailored for collaborative read-aloud sessions. The synchrony between narrative and visual aids is fantastic. Gabriela Vega’s brilliant illustrations, resplendent with the allure of the farm setting, give young readers a tangible connection to the narrative’s context and characters. Weckbacher also includes insightful facts about the Silkie chicken breed, a charming embellishment that encourages young minds to enjoy the pursuit of knowledge.

Beyond its educational underpinnings, What Is the Shape of My Egg? is a story of camaraderie, cooperation, and empathy, courtesy of Silkie and her sisters’ encouraging interactions. The narrative conveys the significance of lending a helping hand and collaborating, imparting vital social lessons to its young audience.

What Is the Shape of My Egg? is an exceptional picture book that will ignite children’s curiosity, inspiring inquiries about the intricacies of their surroundings. This children’s book will enliven classroom discussion on geometric principles. I heartily recommended it to parents and educators alike.
