Farm animals rescue an enormous egg from the road and then must figure out how to care for the mysterious creature. What could possibly be inside this egg and why is it taking so long to hatch? Lester Laminack returns with a delightfully funny sequel to his barnyard story of three hens and a peacock. This time the animals decide to work together to rescue an enormous egg that falls from a truck in the road in front of their farm. Working together is, however, not without challenges when three bossy hens are involved. The animals have no idea what is in the egg and have never seen one so big. But over the course of trying to protect it and hatch it, they find themselves quite smitten with it, each imagining that what' s in the egg is a version of themselves. An unexpectedly heartwarming ending leaves the animals speechless when they meet their new ward and learn who among them is the greatest nurturer of all. This bestselling creative team delivers another amusing picture book about life on a sleepy farm. This one with a lot of heart, too.
Lester Laminack is compared to a Mister Rogers for teachers. A tremendous speaker, he draws large audiences and uses this popularity to encourage the daily classroom use of picture books, poetry, and spoken words in the classroom. An expert in childhood literacy, Lester is the author of many professional books for teachers in addition to his popular picture books, including Three Hens and a Peacock, Snow Day, and Saturdays and Teacakes. Henry Cole is the author and illustrator of over a hundred books for children. A former 4th grade science teacher who grew up on a farm, Henry weaves his experiences into his work to great effect. His popular presentations dazzle audiences of all ages. He has a clever wit, theatrical expressions, and a remarkable ability to keep students and teachers laughing and engaged.
