I would classify this book as poetic because of the creative rhyming on each page. The format follows an ABA form and stays consistent throughout the book which helps the reader.
The plot has a very clear beginning, middle which is easy for children to identify. The climax of the egg rolling away brings tension to the story and holds the reader in longer to find the resolution of when the egg arrives safely at home. ( )
