This was the first book that my daughter read on her own, and what joy she had on her face when she read the last page! A wonderful use of simple words and repitition makes this a great book for children just starting out to read. I wish there were more books like this one! Catherine, mom to Caroline
Great book to start your child reading with. Big Egg is my 4 year old daughter's favorite book. The pictures and story are funny and interesting. I like it as well! This book gets my daughter's HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION!
I am the author's son. The picture's area great, and I like the story. It's really funny, and I think your younger kids will enjoy it. If you send my mom a book, she will autograph it for you free. Your friend, will Canin
So many early readers out there are so different from each other even though they each label their book as Level or Stage 1. This book is a beacon. The words are short "Hen has some eggs". The font is large. There are only 2 to 4 words per line and no more than 2 lines of text per page. Best of all, this is a real story with a plot that has all the requisite parts, and a touching, reassuring ending to boot. Refreshing in light of all those mislabeled early readers and those licensed characters out there making our children into advertising fodder, this little story, easy to read indeed, is original literature and also a satisfying read for beginners. We are going to try Hot Dog by Molly Coxe now to see if it is as good.
I purchased these books for my 5-year-old daughter who is beginning to read on her own and these Step Into Reading books are excellent as they have a high-interest factor that motivates her to read. The stories are also wonderfully illustrated in full color. This particular story has an "aww" moment, as hen finds a large egg amidst her clutch of regular hen eggs, and wonders whose egg it is, going around the farm asking the other animals if it belongs to them, until she encounters a sly fox!These Step 1 series are recommended for preschool-K - the stories are in large type and the vocabulary is easy. The stories are also in a rhyming format which makes them easy and fun to read. The full color pictures also provide contextual clues as to the word being used in the text. These early readers have raised my daughter's confidence level in reading, and she is doing so well that I'm purchasing the Step Two books (Preschool-Grade 1). I use these books in conjunction with sight words to reinforce her recognition of common vocabulary.
This is a great little children's book, which seems to follow the same idea of Aesop's fable, where the story comes full circle.Hen has found an egg, and it isn't hers. No one else will claim it, until she runs into fox who claims not only that egg, but all of her eggs.A fun little story, kids will enjoy it. There is enough adventure to make it interesting, and the ending is heart-warming. Simple words, easy to read even for the most beginning of readers.
I bought this for my 2 year old who loves the step into reading books. I do not like this one very much. The beginning of the book is fine, but then there is the part where the fox lies to get the egg from the chicken. It is confusing for 2 year olds to understand the concept that the fox is lying; and that is not explained well in the text. i think this book is not good for the 2-3 year old age group, and older kids will understand it better.
Easy and fun to read, with nice values. The illustrations help make it funny also. A family favorite.
