The Odd Egg

(2) PS A robin, parrot, hen, flamingo, and owl are grouped cozily with their eggs. One by one they hatch (on a sequence of cleverly cut pages) while Duck stands alone. The soft lines and colors of Gravett's expressive illustrations lead one to expect a gentle story, but the other birds aren't gentle in their disdain, and when Duck's egg hatches--watch out.
