Bookroo's summary

Peep eagerly awaits Egg's hatching, dreaming of adventures like sunrise watching and puddle splashing. But Egg is too scared to crack open. Can Peep convince Egg to embrace the world beyond the shell? This charming tale explores the courage to face the unknown, with vibrant illustrations that will delight young readers.

From the publisher

Egg is not hatching.

No way. No how.

It is too scary out there.

Peep wants Egg to hatch so they can do fun things together, like watch the sunrise, splash in puddles, and play hide-and-seek.

But Egg is not cracking…

Joyce Wan’s bright and bold illustrations will have young chickies giggling at Laura Gehl’s reassuring tale that takes the not out of I’m not.
