“A Golden Egg for Charlie” is a charming children’s book told in rhyme and very prettily illustrated with bright and appealing pictures. Charlie is a little girl who likes to play firefighter and visit her friend Maggie, a magpie. When Charlie is sad that Maggie cannot come live in her room, Maggie gives Charlie a present—a golden egg that hatches into a little Maggie. At first, Charlie has a lot of fun—but when more little Maggies start to hatch, it gets a bit crowded and Charlie has a decision to make.Both parents and children should love this story—the illustrations are engaging and the rhymes will hold a child’s attention. There’s also some opportunity in the story to work on counting with your child, which is always welcome. Recommended to parents looking for a fun and easy book for storytime.
