Product Description

Emma is one ambitious young chicken. When she discovers that she has a talent for creating eggs, she won't rest until she executes the perfect delivery. To her surprise, Emma learns that a little patience can go a long way, and can sometimes be more productive than trying too hard to please. Full color. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars My daughter's new favorite book, February 29, 2000
By Kim Koster (The Midwest) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Emma's Eggs (Hardcover)
Emma's Eggs is the cutest story of a chicken doing her best to please her owners. When she sees one of her eggs get scrambled, she tries to scramble the next one herself. Problem is, the farmer and his family are not pleased with her efforts. So it goes with each of her eggs, until she finally decides to sit on her egg and refuse to give it up. You can guess what happens with that final egg. The best line in the book: "Emma fitted on her nest like the lid on a cookie jar." The illustrations are wonderful; the expressions on Emma's face are priceless. This was an instant hit with my daughter, and she giggles every time she reads it. I highly recommend this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun, delightful book, August 30, 2001
By M. A. Roesch (Phoenix, AZ) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The story of Emma, the chicken, and her amazement and confusion at what the farmer and his family seem to expect from her and her eggs is a joy to read. It has a repeating catch-phrase of "No, no, no, Emma, that's NOT what you do with eggs!" that kids will enjoy saying along with you, and it turns around at the end to their joyfully exclamation of "Yes, yes, yes, Emma, THAT'S what you do with eggs!" The illustrations are a match for the story - Emma's facial expressions and body language make me want to smile every time. I highly recommend this book - I know my three-year old will want to hear this book for many years to come.
