Original Book on Book Dash: Egg (opens in a new tab)- Reading
- Pause at each “My egg?” page and invite a prediction; then compare the imagined hatchling with the animal before turning the page.
- Themes
- Claiming the egg: Several animals wonder if the egg is theirs, but each leaves when it is not. The ostrich pair call it “our egg” and welcome the chick. The story centres on identifying the egg’s parents and ends with the two ostriches attending to their chick; it does not clearly develop a broader message about family or belonging.
- Worth knowing
- The egg’s owner is kept uncertain until the ostrich appears. The story’s suspense is gentle and resolved when the chick hatches.
