description: In the beginning there is an egg. Which may become a baby bird except if it becomes a baby snake instead. Except if the baby snake is really truly a dinosaur! In this young clever and whimsical picture book in the spirit of Not a Box and First the Egg an egg is not just an egg but a symbol of the potential a child's imagination holds. As each image melds smoothly but unexpectedly into the next readers are invited to stretch the limits of their imagination.
