Cute story about 3 little frogs who hatch what they think is a chicken egg. Even when they find the mother, they remain convinced that it's a chicken. This is humorous for the adults, but I feel like a good number of kids will just be annoyed by it and not get the humor.

Cute story about a frog who finds a mysterious egg, and brings it home to hatch. Does that thing kids love where it gets something wrong, that kids will recognize and laugh at. A bit much text on some of the pages, so maybe 4+.

Though I really enjoyed this book, something seemed off and so I gave it a 4 instead of a 5. The illustrations are typical of Lionni's work. In this story, a frog finds a "rock" which the other frogs call a chicken egg. So when it hatches, it turns out to be something other than a chicken. However, they never really realize that. This I think is the problem for me. I think for an adult it was a great joke. Need to think about this from a child's perspective.

I really want to like these, but they just keep being preachy and talking-down and... ow.
