The Odd Egg

Book Synopsis

All the birds have eggs to hatch. All except Duck. When Duck finds an egg of his own to look after he’s delighted: it’s the most beautiful egg in the whole world! But all the other birds think it’s a very odd egg indeed – and everyone’s in for a big surprise when it finally hatches.

With lots of split pages that allow the visual jokes to unfold, The Odd Egg is another witty and lively book from award-winning creator, Emily Gravett.

A beautifully illustrated and cleverly formatted tale with a surprise ending that’s bound to ruffle some feathers!

Our Review Panel says...

This clever picture book offers something book for all ages. Award-winning Emily Gravett (author of Meerkat Mail and Little Mouse’s Big Book of Fears) is back, this time with a story about a duck that desperately wanted to lay an egg like the other birds. The duck finds and nurtures an intriguing egg, which eventually hatches to reveal a charming surprise. The pages of The Odd Egg are cut into different sizes to mimic the way the egg progresses and the book is full of visual humour that helps to extend its appeal to older children too.
