Stork finds an egg by the side of the lake but he just can't open it. All the animals try to crack the shell - Hippopotamus rolls on it, Lion bites it and Snake squeezes it, but no one can break it! 'Til one day, the egg makes a cracking sound...This humorous tale about learning to respect others is full of fresh, vibrant illustrations which bring African animals to life, with a simple text that even very young children will enjoy. Since its publication as a picture book in 1986, it has continued to sell extremely well. The new board book format brings this story to a younger audience.
