An Extraordinary Egg - Hardcover
For three frogs, an ordinary day on Pebble Island becomes extraordinary when one of them discovers a white egg. Although they've never seen a chicken's egg, they are sure that's what it is. So when a scaly, green, four-legged creature hatches from the egg, the frogs naturally call it a chicken.
