Where Are the Eggs? (Storytelling Math

Mei searches the yard for eggs laid by her chickens. Each discovery gives her a chance to describe where an egg is positioned in relation to something nearby, such as a watering can, flower pot, wheelbarrow, or chicken. The search builds a story around location words including next to, behind, and under. As Mei moves through the yard and finds the eggs, the book connects caring for chickens with mathematical language about position and space.
