#BloomingBibliophiles Day 13: One of the things that attracted me to this folktale, Talking #Eggs is that it reminded me of fairy tales of old where things make simple sense: good and bad are clearly defined and delineated. One is aware of the order of the universe, there are no gray areas. And the evil ones always get their comeuppance in the end. My detailed review here: https://wp.me/pDlzr-W6

I would read this story to 2nd and 3rd graders. They would be able to pay attention and be able to read along. They would love a story like this one in the class.

This book is tractional literature. I really enjoyed this book. It has great pictures a great story. This dress is longer and more interesting for kids. Highly recommend to read to classes. This book has a simple plot. It gets to point and makes sure that is easy for kids to understand.

published 1989. this book is about a talking egg. I really like the use of characters in this book. The little girl and the older woman. The older woman brings the child to a farm. then the rabbits were dancing and the little girl was having a blast.
