Out of the Egg

  • Out of the Egg front cover image by Tina Matthews

A classic tale retold with a modern twist and illustrated with beautiful Japanese style woodcuts.

This reworked version of the traditional tale of the hardworking, unaided Little Red Hen continues until her own baby chick befriends the offspring of the lazy cat, rat and pig and together they play. By the end of the day each baby learns a new lesson in forgiveness and sharing.

Dramatic black/white woodcuts with splashes of red and green enhance this meaningful saga, giving it a contemporary feel.
"Offers unusual visual impact, [and is] seemingly simple yet multilayered," Kirkus Reviews.
"Parents will enjoy reading Out of the Egg to their young children while teachers will find plenty to open discussions on life messages in this wonderful tale".
