Bookroo's summary

Duck finds an unusual egg, much to the amusement of the other birds. As they mock him, Duck remains hopeful. What will emerge when this peculiar egg hatches? Discover the unexpected surprise that awaits!

From the publisher

Each of the birds has an egg…except for Duck. So when Duck finds a beautiful egg of his own he’s delighted – even though the other birds make fun of it. But everyone’s in for a BIG surprise when his egg finally hatches!

The witty text and playful illustrations appear on cleverly designed cut pages that allow the visual jokes to unfold.
