Personal Reaction:
Roly-Poly Egg is the tale of Splotch, a charmingly colorful bird, and her egg. When Splotch lays a brightly spotted egg, she is so excited that she begins to jump up and down, shaking the tree branch and causing the egg to roll out of the tree. The egg goes on a rollicking adventure, propelled by various animals along the way. The egg eventually makes it back safe and sound, where it hatches and a spotted chick is born. This book has just the right level of drama for the very young to enjoy. The illustrations, rendered in bright colors against a white background, are bold and eye-catching, and kids will be won over by the lift-the-flap illustration of the hatching egg.
