I loved this one. I am using it for my first storytime on Saturday. It will be a fun one to read with the kids.

Egg has a magic about it that we come to expect from Kevin Henkes. Both in its gentle, soothing illustrations and darling story. I could see this book being a Caldecott contender but especially a Geisel contender.

Cute story, but I can't see myself using it as a read-aloud to a large group. Perhaps one on one.

A very simple story for babies and toddlers. A perfect book to have your toddler tell you the story by just looking at the pictures.

I love the simple illustrations. The pastel color palate works well for this story. I also really love the pace of the story. Good book for early readers and for kids with a shorter attention span.

Really cute book about acceptance. Easy for the little ones to follow along!

Cute, but somewhat predictable (and too bad that the description on the verso game it away)

Umm. No. Disappointing. Not especially good art. But boring. Boring art. Boring text. And the surprise was also uninteresting. I was expecting better.
