Description

A hilarious story about making a mistake and learning to laugh at yourself.

One day, as Peg is running around chasing butterflies, she comes upon an egg! What is it doing out in the field by itself?! It's a big egg, and she wonders what it could be! A turtle? An ostrich? A DRAGON?

Peg takes her role as caretaker of the egg very seriously. She keeps the egg warm, protects it from the dog and the rain, sings it songs, and patiently waits for something to hatch. Until she discovers it's not an egg at all. Oh no! Peg is so embarrassed. How could she have made such a ridiculous mistake?

With similarly funny antics to Jo Renfro's Peg Gets Crackin' and Peg Gets Plucky, this new story is perfect for showing how humor and laughter can help overcome embarrassing moments.

Awards & Endorsements

Kirkus Reviews

"The message that everyone errs from time to time is simple and effectively conveyed without belaboring the point. The just-right blend of silliness and concise lesson makes the tale appropriate for preschoolers."
