Egg is Kevin Henke’s 50th book. He has given us lots of great ones over the years, like Lily’s Purple Plastic Purse, Chester’s Way, and Chrysanthemum. Egg shows Henkes’ brilliance, and his ability to connect with children with a simple and engaging story. Here we have four cheerfully coloured eggs. Three hatch. One doesn't... Which of course leads to a lot of waiting... The green egg does hatch, eventually, but the birds get a big surprise. This picture book is understated, and reveals a seemingly simple story that will leave readers with lots to talk about. A perfect read aloud. I sure hope that Kevin Henkes continues to create and add to his stellar list.
