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.
