A blue egg ("It couldn't walk. It couldn't sing. It couldn't fly. It could just get sat on") is eventually hatched by a patient bird, and the baby bird walks, sings, and flies away. The circular ending is completely satisfying. The minimal text and simple pictures make this story just right for three-year-olds to memorize and "read" to themselves over and over.

Perfect as a baby shower or Easter basket gift, The Happy Egg celebrates the promise and confidence of little birds (and young children) everywhere.

A simple and delightful story for parents and children to enjoy together, now with a refreshed cover design. From the husband-and-wife team who created the timeless classic The Carrot Seed.

The Happy Egg is just right for the youngest of readers, and the storyline lends itself to interactive reading—parents can encourage their children to walk, sing, and fly as the little bird does.
