Beautiful, coloured illustrations in this picture book for younger readers help relate the story of an egg who wanted to fly. Against advice he cannot wait until he hatches and climbs a tower to try his luck. An excellent story for reading aloud, discussion amongst listeners could create differing points of view to compare to the predictable result. The imaginative depictions of the egg, his dreams and the first aid attempts after his fall, add to the humorous appeal of this story. Lessons on accepting advice and patience could also be learnt from this appealing resource. R. Parnis
