The Egg

by Dick Bruna (Illustrator)

When an egg mysteriously appears, the farm animals try to guess what will hatch out of it. Children can guess along with the animals while reading the book with adults, and the creative egg shape and simple illustrations make The Egg fun for youngsters to read.

This was my FAVORITE book the check out of the library when I was a kid, and I think I was the only one who did. My mom tried to find a copy for me, but it was out of print. She called our local library and asked them to please call her if they ever took the book out of circulation. A couple of years ago they did, as it hadn't been checked out in years, and so I have the actual copy that I treasured as a youngster! I almost cried.
