Egg in the Hole Book

I remember being read this book as a child. It was a fun read. I remember being fascinated by the hunt for the missing egg.

My son loves this story. There are cutouts for his finger to explore on every page as he follows the trials and tribulations of a traveling egg...there is a wonderful surprise ending...that is fun to anticipate too. It's an activity book, without any tabs to break! Highly recommended.

My boys are 19 months old and this is currently their favorite bedtime book. It has large, simple, colorful pictures. And it is a toddler safe boardbook! Although they are not talking, they have learned to pick out the various animals and other objects such as trees, flowers, sun, etc. It is an easy, flowing book to read aloud, and they love it when I give the animals different voices. The suprise of the soft baby chick at the end usually has them wanting to start on that page. I am actually here tonight looking for similar books by Mr. Scarry!

when i was 1 1/2 i loved this book. i learned to talk with this book. this is the greatest book ever. it has adventure, intrigue, love... i said 'hi' when i was 9 months old. i have only 'the egg in the whole' (and my mother) to thank.

The "adventures" of an egg are eagerly followed by the fingers of young children. When they get to the last page, they chortle with the discovery of a newly hatched chick and want to start all over again! I read this repeatedly to my own children and am delighted to be able to continue reading it to my grandchildren.
