Description

The surreal story of the egg that wanted to fly. The Egg was young. It didn't know much. We tried to tell it,but of course it didn't listen. If only it had waited . . . The Egg loved the sky. It saw all the birds, insects, aeroplanes, balloons, helicopters, bats and clouds. It dreamed of being up there, flying with them all. So the Egg went to a very high place . . . and jumped . . .

Reviews

It just can't be pigeon-holed and comes from an entirely original and quirky talent. Even the illustrations are one in a million, combining collage, digital photos, string and straw * Guardian *
Truly surreal adventures which will be enjoyed by all four- to six-year-olds * Sunday Express *
A fine debut * Books for Keeps *
