Description

This book features a story told by a child who lives on a chicken farm and explains how the eggs go from the farm to the grocery store.

Quick Summary

If you've got a kid who's always asking where their food comes from, this one's for them. The story is told from a young person's perspective living on a working chicken farm, which makes the whole egg-to-grocery-store journey feel personal and relatable rather than textbook-ish. It's a quick, accessible read that manages to pack in real information about farm life without feeling like a lesson kids get caught up in the story while picking up how eggs travel from nest to carton to store shelf. Perfect for early readers who love animals or anyone curious about where breakfast comes from, and at just under 1,800 words it's a great stepping stone for kids ready to tackle slightly longer nonfiction stories. The combination of a kid narrator and actual farm-to-table content makes this stand out from typical animal books for this age group.
