| Good Egg
Say "sit," and Egg sits. Good Egg! Say "roll over," and egg rolls over. What a good
Egg! Of course, Egg does all of this with a toddler's help, who lifts the flaps and pulls the tabs and operates the wiggle behind the wiggle-waggle. But that's the most fun part: allowing the child to interact with Egg.
Then comes the pay-off. "Speak," is the command, and children will crack up in delight and surprise with what happens next.
Created by award-winning children's book author and illustrator Barney Saltzberg, GOOD EGG is that rarest of rare books where utter simplicity is utterly irresistible. Egg has neither eyes nor smile nor furrowed brow, yet exudes an adorable, eager-to-please charm. No sentence is longer than two words, yet in the eight board book pages, an engaging story is told. Add the flaps and the tabs and the pleasure of movement, and Good Egg is sure to be read again and again.
