Meet the pond. Greet the sun. Say Hello to everyone!
SHAKE A LEG, EGG!
This book riffs on the fact that birds actually "talk" to their unhatched chicks, exchanging information right through the eggshell. There's so much to be said. Like, for instance, what's the holdup?
"Hello in there! Are you aware how long we've all been waiting?"
All around you, life is brimming, swimming, slapping, honking, flapping.
Wings are whistling overhead. Up they rise! Off they fly! Soon you too will cross the sky.
Shake a Leg, Egg! received a starred review from Kirkus. It was an Oregon Book Award finalist.
