BUYING ADVISORY: Pre-K - ADVISABLE
AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH
Oliver happened upon an egg shaped rock one day. Although it was a rock, Oliver’s imagination
grew wild! It was his dinosaur egg
and he was going to take care of it until it hatched. He carried the rock/egg with him everywhere
he went. He imagined great adventures with
his future dinosaur friend. In the near
future they would enjoy donuts and sail the sea! They would even discover new
worlds… just the two of them. That is
until a startling realization was discovered!
Oliver and His Egg has
a fun twist in the end that will keep children asking to read it again and
again!
The illustrations in Oliver and His Egg are simple yet inviting. Oliver’s egg is an actual photo intermixed
with the rest of the illustrations in pencil sketched drawings. The last page is a fold out for little
fingers to enjoy opening over and over.
