EGG DROP by Mini Grey is a very cute book! My son and I both thoroughly enjoyed reading about a little egg who really wanted to fly. Of course, we both knew that the egg was asking for trouble from the start, but that only made the book all the more fun to read.

EGG DROP is an ideal book for preschoolers. The pictures are just adorable and there are only a few words on each page so even the most active youngster will be able to sit through the entire story. I thought the pictures definitely enhanced the story, and I actually think we spent more time looking at the pictures than reading the words. I also like that this story was really funny. The humor in this book will appeal not only to young children but also to the adults who have to read it!

Besides the story, I also thought the lessons in this book were cute. It's no surprise that the egg wasn't able to fly; and we also know from Humpty Dumpty that you can't fix a broken egg. But the ultimate lesson in EGG DROP was really about patience -- if only the little egg would have waited...

Mini Grey's EGG DROP tells of an egg that wanted to fly. Unfortunately the egg is young and has no idea of possibilities or how to go about flying! A surprising, hilarious ending makes for a zany story.

They tried to warn him. But you have to admire the pluck of an egg who is willing to scale 583 steps of a very tall tower, then "opened it's eyes and saw friends in the air, felt sky blasting past." Was it worth it? Well, he coulda been a rooster. Humpty Dumpty, with a philosophical ending.

Egg Drop Terrific illustrations and a good story. Enjoyed by many grandchildren.
