Big Egg

3.79 AVERAGE


Cute story for early readers about a hen with small eggs and one big egg. Hen asks all the animals if the egg belongs to them and they all respond negatively. This is a great little book for early readers using high frequency words and a real storyline. Text could also be used to discuss how people may look differently, but have different strengths.

Good for beginning readers, super easy, but the story is actually pretty decent.

Cute story with a funny twist, but nothing that hasn't been done many times before.

A hen ends up with a larger than normal egg and asks fellow farm animals if it belongs to them. A bit of humor, early readers will make the connection that cats DO NOT lay eggs. I love how the hen ends up showing love for all her chicks, no matter the size or difference in appearance.

In this Neo-led story, we learn about Hen and her eggs of two sizes; one large and many small ones. She cannot understand where the large egg has come from and asks around, but no one will take ownership, until Fox pipes up. As the chicks begin to hatch, Fox thinks he has a meal ready for him, but Hen has other ideas. With some quick thinking, Hen is able to save her entire family. Neo did so well with this story, getting most of the words on the first try. I am so proud to see him progressing so well in a short time.
