(2) PS This book leads readers to expect predictable outcomes, only to turn those expectations on their head. An egg will hatch a baby bird, except if...said egg contains a baby snake--or a baby lizard. Averbeck keeps the pictures simple, focused, and funny, all the way to the satisfyingly circular ending. Children will enjoy the surprise of each page turn.
