An Extraordinary Egg

R140.00

It’s an extraordinary day on Pebble Island for three frogs when one of them discovers a beautiful white egg. They’ve never seen a chicken egg before, but they’re sure that’s what this must be. So when the egg hatches and out crawls a long, green, scaly creature, they naturally call it … a chicken! Children will love this hilarious story of mistaken identity.
