It's OUR EGG!!

Mr. and Mrs. Gabbler have just had their first egg. Unfortunately, in all the celebration of this event, the egg rolls off. Hilarity ensues as The Gabblers, and everyone else in the forest, try to recover the egg. This was a great book for our 4 year old. The writing is funny and light, making good use of some rhyme. The illustrations are well done. My son laughs all the way through this book, no matter how many times we read it to him. He especially loves when The Gabblers shout at Doris the Tortoise, "It's OUR EGG!"
