The Odd Egg

The Odd Egg
3 Stars


By Emily Gravett
2008
ISBN :978-1-4169-6872-6


About a duck who cannot lay an egg, but finds one. The illustations and the text flows well. I like the cleverly cut pages. I just don't like some of the content (mostly in terms of text).

-"he thought it was the most beautiful egg in the whole wide world". ""but the other birds did not".
and the other birds are laughing and saying things like "not pretty", "it'll never hatch" and "that is and odd egg".

- I also don't like the mother bird holding a mirror and the bird saying "I'm a pretty boy".

I would not buy this new, but would buy it if I happened to find a copy at the Salvos. In other words it would have to be very cheap.
