A number of animals eagerly travel to see an egg hatch, but "What on earth...?"--a pig pops out instead. (A satisfying twist reveals that it's a chick in a pig costume.) Sharp cut-paper illustrations picture the animals dressed like tourists with sporty clothes and cameras in tow. The spare text adds humor that subtly spoofs mass-media attention.
