Myrtle the dove is sad and depressed because her nest is empty; her children had flown off and left her. She held back her tears until they were out of sight then she went into a cave to cry. Inside the cave she spies a huge pinkish, purplish, bluish egg! She takes the egg back to her nest to hatch it. What kind of creature will emerge from the egg?
This is a fun story! I love the rhyming text and the beautiful colored-pencil illustrations that accompany it.

My 5 year old daughter loved this book. She loves birds, eggs, rhymes, griffins, fairy tales, and stories of abandoned or lost characters who find someone kind who takes care of them. We read it last night. All day she's been writing her own stories about mysterious creatures hatching from eggs...
I thought the ending left something to be desired - at the end the author basically questions whether griffins are real at all. It seemed out of place with the rest of the cute story.

A dove was very sad because she had no eggs so she went into a cave where she found a big rock, but it was an egg that came into something right out of a fairy tale book called a griffin.

This was my favourite book as a child. Brings back some very good memories of daily trips to the library when I was little.
