How Extraordinary! A Review of An Extraordinary Egg

Could this book get any cuter?

An Extraordinary Egg, written and illustrated by Leo Lionni, tells the tale of friendly frogs who find an egg. What happens when the egg hatches... It must be a chicken of course.

Your little ones will squeal with delight as the baby alligator follows his new froggie friends around and as the frogs keep referring to it as a chicken.

A really good conversation about making mistakes is a perfect complement to this tale. Kids need to know that it's okay to make mistakes. Stop and ask your kiddos a question that they can not answer with a simple yes or no.

1. Why do you think the frogs believe the baby alligator is a chicken?
2. What kinds of animals are born from eggs?

Here's an egg-celent link tha'll take you to activities and facts about animals that are born from eggs!

Happy Reading,
