What Parents Need to Know
About The Odd Egg
Parents need to know that this is a simple little story, somewhat predictable, but still an original, witty tale with a great lesson about being a little out of step with the crowd.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about how it feels to be left out of something. What was it the duck wanted? He thought the egg he found was beautiful. How did the other birds react? What did you think? What does the sound each baby bird makes when he hatches tell you about the kind of bird he is? How did the duck react when his egg did not hatch? How do you feel when you have to wait for something you really want? Why are the feathers flying all around as the alligator pops out? Why is he calling the duck "Mama"?
