(2) K-3 A hen relates this mock-tragedy about an egg, young and impulsive, who dreams of flying. The story is gleefully absurd, and Grey's illustrations are as bold as the Egg's lofty ambitions. Mixed-media collages feature dynamic, often surprising perspectives, dashes of wit, and a main character that's as expressive as an egg can be with only two eyes and short spindly legs.
