An Extraordinary Egg (Step Into Reading - Level 3 - Quality)

by Leo Lionni

Leo Lionni (Illustrator)

It's an extraordinary day on Pebble Island for three frogs when one of them discovers a beautiful white egg. They've never seen a chicken egg before, but they're sure that's what this must be. So when the egg hatches and out crawls a long green, scaly creature, they naturally call it . . . a chicken! From award winning-artist Leo Lionni, here's a hilarious case of mistaken identity that children are sure to delight in.

This is rather amusing and a great read to throw in while studying amphibians and reptiles.

Update: 2015

An Extraordinary Egg is a story written about 1948 I believe. It is one of several by Leo Lionni that has entertained children for decades. Now for the summer of 2015, this story returns in a Step into Reading Level 3 reader right on key for students that are getting ready to read on their own.

Reading this now, I'd say that it would a perfect one to add in when studying classifications in science.

I read a digital loan of the ISBN 13: 9780385755474. I own a vintage copy of the storybook.
