Cat's Egg

This was such a cute story. A cat trying to hatch a kitten? How odd and unique. I thought the story was fun and the illustrations were really cute.

Absolutely adorable little story about a cat who thinks she laid an egg. The story is funny, charming, and well illustrated. It's a cute book to discuss animals and their babies. Kids old enough to understand the chicken & egg concept will find it humorous. On another note, it could open up a discussion about serious topics like adoption with older children. Well written and unique story! Reminds me of a reverse "Are You My Mom?"

A fun, cute story about a cat who thinks she's laid an egg after she finds one in her bed. Dog explains to her it doesn't work that way, but Cat isn't convinced. She needs some food and a nap, so she goes looking for help. She asks Crow, Koel, and Sea Turtle if they'll look after her egg for a bit, but they each have reasons not to. The egg is starting to feel squishy, and a worried Cat asks Dog for help. Upon investigation, they discover it's a chocolate egg, which Dog wisely tells her not to eat when she is tempted to do so, as it could make her sick. Dog shares his dinner with Cat, and they snuggle together for a nap afterward. An author's note follows the story, explaining the dangers of giving a pet chocolate, which is a great message for a kid's story, and not one I've come across before. The stylized illustrations are quirky and fun, with lots of expression on the characters' faces, and they depict the story well.

AHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhh. This book is so sweet. A cat wakes and finds an egg in her bed, so she must have hatched it. But she needs time to nap and to get food. She desperately needs someone to help her hatch this egg. As an adult I figured out the ending pretty quick, but it didn’t matter. The interaction between the birds, turtle, the dog, and the cat are just so Charlotte’e Web that this reader wears a huge smile on their face while reading. I am sure all kids and parents will as well.

This is a clever tale of a cat waking up to find an egg in their basket and trying to figure out how to hatch it. I thought it was humorous and fun.
