Bibliographic Information: San Souci, R. (1989). The Talking Eggs. Jerry Pinkney. New York, New York: Dial Books for Young Readers.
Brief Annotation: This adapted folktale is about learning a lesson. Being humble and kind gets you further than wanting fame and fortune.
Genre: Folktale
Grade Level: 1-3
Readers who will like this: Readers who like books with a lesson.
Response/Rating (1-4): 2. This book is beautifully illustrated. The story is clever, but gets sort of weird at times. The mother and sister in this book mistreat the main character, which is sad.
One question you would ask before a read aloud: Have you ever done something you were told not to do? What happened?
