(3) PS Illustrated by Crockett Johnson. A blue egg ("It couldn't walk. It couldn't sing. It couldn't fly. It could just get sat on") is eventually hatched by a patient bird, and the baby bird walks, sings, and flies away. The circular ending is completely satisfying. The minimal text and simple pictures make this story just right for three-year-olds to memorize and "read" to themselves over and over.
