| Egg by Kevin HenkesPink, yellow, blue, and green, four candy-colored eggs wait on the cream-colored page. And then: CRACK! Pink, yellow, and blue, three chicks emerge -- but what about the green egg? Curiously, the new chicks peck away at the unhatched egg until the shell finally cracks, revealing…a crocodile?! The birds' uncertainty (and eventual acceptance) towards their reptile companion drives this minimal but carefully crafted story, illustrated in author/illustrator Kevin Henkes' distinctive ink-and-watercolor style. Those looking for a similar tale with a more humorous tone will enjoy Emily Gravett's The Odd Egg, while those who want another sweetly contemplative read may appreciate Waiting, also by Henkes.
