Daniel's Mystery Egg (Green Light Readers Level 2)
Grade 1-2-An appealing story in which a boy finds a small white  egg. He shows it to three friends, one at a time. Each child  speculates as to what might be inside and how to help once it  has hatched. After some waiting, what emerges is not an ostrich  or an alligator or a duck, as his friends imagined, but a  lizard, exactly the kind of animal Daniel predicted-"small,  nice, and quiet." Karas's collages cover three-fourths of each  spread or page and are either above or below the text. Most are  in full color, with the exceptions being the illustrations that  represent what the three imagine is in the egg. Those pictures  are more muted and depict the kids peeking over the edges of the  scenes. With large-sized type, short sentences, repeated words  and phrases, and plenty of illustrations, this book is just  right for beginning readers.Kathleen Simonetta, Indian Trails  Public Library District, Wheeling, ILCopyright 2002 Reed Business Information, Inc.--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
