About This Book
Reach for this book when you want to spark your child's narrative voice or if you have a little one who loves high-stakes, slapstick humor. Because it is wordless, it is the perfect tool for a child who feels intimidated by traditional reading but loves to talk through what they see. It provides a safe, imaginative space to explore feelings of surprise and the realization that things are not always what they seem. The story follows a man and his pet cockatoo who unintentionally hatch a crocodile from a grocery store egg. What follows is a surreal, blue-toned chase through an urban landscape. It is a fantastic choice for building visual literacy and encouraging children to predict outcomes. Parents will appreciate how the absurdist art style invites a different kind of focus, making it a quiet but high-energy shared reading experience.
