Straight Talk for Librarians: A few years ago, a 2nd grade student asked if I had any books about eggs, and I wish I'd had this one to show him. It's exactly what he was looking for. This book is chocked full to the brim with facts about eggs, their inhabitants along with their sometimes devoted, or not, maternal and paternal parents. The Egg is a colorful, informative and welcomed nonfiction addition to any school library.
