Reviews

A picture book using just one word (‘egg’) is a tricky challenge, but like Ed Vere’s Banana! picture book supremos Hendra and Linnet pull off this story about acceptance, difference and belonging with style. Like all of their picture books, the characters are hilariously expressive, and peril is always dealt with in the most ingenious way. Egg is a really clever, funny story you can have lots of fun reading together
The illustrations are bright and bold, and the eggs’ faces are full of expression. Children will delight at the humour and fun in the pictures. The simplicity of the book gave my four-year-old pre-school son the confidence to read the story aloud himself. I found him sharing the book with his friends, happily telling them the story as he turned the pages. It was a very proud mommy moment! Egg skilfully delivers a powerful and important message to young children about acceptance in a fun and accessible way
An eggcellent Easter read with a great moral
