a lovely book to read aloud!

About THE LITTLE EGG Tanya writes:
"This book began life as a slightly longer text that started, "In a barn on a farm high on a hill, a little egg was in its nest."
It was trimmed to fit the wonderful Big Cat series and I was thrilled with the result. Shoo Rayner's illustrations are just wonderful - lively and funny - and I've had lots of lovely sessions in infant classes reading this aloud to them. They anticipate what's going to happen next as the little egg goes on a strange and exciting journey, and get very excited shouting PICK! PECK! POCK! with wild enthusiasm each time the refrain comes round."
