I began reading this to my daughter when she was just a few months old, and I have never tired of it. Now, my daughter is nearly 2-1/2 and she still loves hearing the tale over and over. The illustrations are clear and colorful, and it's fun to look for the egg in each one. The text (a la House that Jack Built) does a nice job in showing the progression of relationships: "This is the corn, that fed the hen, that laid the egg, that went into the cake that Mack ate. etc."Here is the (well-earned!) praise from the back of the book:Booklist said, "A rollicking cumulative tale...a perfect preschool read-aloud."School Library Journal said, "Will delight audiences."Los Angeles Times said, "If you want to share a hearty laugh with your preschooler, get your lap ready. [This is ] one of those rare picture books an adult won't mind reading thirty-seven times in one week."
