It's not one of Lionni's lesson stories but it makes us laugh.

I always use this for my egg story time. Also, it won high reviews from my husband when he read it to my eldest years ago. 4/20/11
It's a bit long for my group now, but I do a younger Lap Time and don't mind challenging those who come for the older Story Time. 3/28/12
Did an Egg Hunt Story Time this year and got some older kids so I did this as my first book and it went over well.

20 month old kiddo is too young to appreciate this story yet, though he's the one who picked it from the library shelf. We'll have to read it again when he's a little older. He did like the pictures of frogs, though didn't get past the first few pages.
I really want to like these, but they just keep being preachy and talking-down and... ow.
Though I really enjoyed this book, something seemed off and so I gave it a 4 instead of a 5. The illustrations are typical of Lionni's work. In this story, a frog finds a "rock" which the other frogs call a chicken egg. So when it hatches, it turns out to be something other than a chicken. However, they never really realize that. This I think is the problem for me. I think for an adult it was a great joke. Need to think about this from a child's perspective.

Cute story about 3 little frogs who hatch what they think is a chicken egg. Even when they find the mother, they remain convinced that it's a chicken. This is humorous for the adults, but I feel like a good number of kids will just be annoyed by it and not get the humor.
Cute story about a frog who finds a mysterious egg, and brings it home to hatch. Does that thing kids love where it gets something wrong, that kids will recognize and laugh at. A bit much text on some of the pages, so maybe 4+.
