Review:
This book is gorgeous! It features a young chick who really doesn't want to leave his egg, but pieces of it keep breaking away as the story continues, until all he is left with is one little piece on his head. The chick soon comes to realise that change is inevitable, and that there's still warmth and happiness to be found outside his comfort zone.
My three year old really enjoys this book - beautiful bright illustrations, and simple words with plenty of funny sound ("Hoppity Hopping" is his favourite one). There are three other books in this series - Daisy Dinosaur Gets Lost, How to Catch a Falling Star, and The Wishing Stone.
My rating: 4 out of 5.
