Just One More Egg: A Science Folktale by Lois WickstromMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Mama Warbler has just laid 6 eggs and she's patiently waiting on them to hatch. One day, a Cuckoo flies into her nest and lays an egg, then just disappears. Mama Warbler's neighbor keeps trying to get her to toss the much larger egg away but Mama insists on keeping it. When the baby cuckoo hatches, it's much bigger than Mama herself and this baby eat A LOT! Mama is busy collecting food when a cat stops by for a visit. Baby cuckoo protects Mama's nest but the neighbor looses a baby. The neighbor decides that baby cuckoo isn't so bad after all and she's hoping to gain one next year.
This is a super cute book by an author that I love! The illustrations are very well-done as well. This would be a great teaching tool about birds and egg laying, about friendships, loyalty, trust, and the importance of all lives.
