Egg

This masterful and stylistically original picture book by Kevin Henkes introduces young children to four eggs. One is blue, one is pink, one is yellow, and one is green. Three of the eggs hatch, revealing three baby birds who fly away. But the green egg does not hatch. Why not? When the three birds return to investigate, they’re in for a big surprise! What will happen next? With a compelling mix of comic-like panels, wordless pages and spreads, and a short text featuring word repetition, surprise, and suspense, "Egg" is an ideal book for emergent readers as well as for sharing in a group.  Ages 1-4; board book.
