First the Egg is a popular children's picture book created by Laura Vaccaro Seeger. It was published in 2007 by Roaring Brook Press. A picture book tells a story mainly through its illustrations. This book became a New York Times bestseller.
The book is special because it uses pages with shapes cut out, called die-cut pages. These cut-outs help show how things change. Laura Vaccaro Seeger also uses word play, which means she plays with words to create clever meanings. She changes the pictures between the cut-out pages to show surprising connections. These connections explore simple ideas like how time passes, what opposites are, and different colors.
