The Enormous Egg by Oliver Butterworth

4.0

A lovely story about an unexpected event and a boy's devotion to an unusual pet. The story was written in the 1950s and made into a film in the 1960s. Sadly the main cultural change I detected was that traffic on the National Mall never stops, so Nate would have a lot of witnesses if he tried to walk Uncle Beasley now. The politicians still have their heads up their butts. People are still desperate to exploit the unusual for an edge in business. Hopefully the tendency to be stirred to actiob by the thought of losing something has not been lost, in light of the leaked decision to overturn womens rights to bodily autonomy.
