(3) PS Each of four different pastel-colored eggs occupies its own quadrant of the page. The drama begins when three little chicks hatch, and the fourth egg...waits. What hatches from the fourth egg is not another chick. Will the other three reject the foundling, or embrace it? In this successful board-book adaptation, Henkes taps into the deepest emotions of preschoolers with a simple story and plenty of humor.
