Poppa McPhee Gets the Eggs
Written by John Parker
Illustrated by Trevor Allan

Publication date: 2006
Publisher: Scholastic
ISBN-13: 978-1-86943-600-1

Summary/Back cover:
"If I can't buy six big fresh eggs
as quickly as can be,
and finish off that poppa-cake
my name is not McPhee!"

Poppa McPhee needs eggs to make a favourite cake for his grandchildren, so off he goes to the shops. But his quest for eggs is forgotten when he spies a super-duper, razzle-dazzle, yellow car! And it's for sale...

Review:
A funny story with a fun catch at the end. The rhyming is a little pushed at times and the story doesn't seem to flow quite right all the time, if you can get past that it's a lovely story that will entertain most children.

3/5
