This is a simple story, easy to read for beginners. Even as a bedtime story for a little one, the picture inspire the imagination, and get you wondering, "Just what exactly IS in that egg?" Very cute.

Daniel found an egg. He showed his friends the egg. After a bunch of them, the egg cracked and a lizard came out. I loved this book.

I love how this boy refuses to believe anything negative about his egg. It's a great book to read when talking about negativity and positivity.
