A cat wakes and finds an egg in her bed, so she must have hatched it. But she needs time to nap and to get food. She desperately needs someone to help her hatch this egg. As an adult I figured out the ending pretty quick, but it didn’t matter. The interaction between the birds, turtle, the dog, and the cat are just so Charlotte’e Web that this reader wears a huge smile on their face while reading. I am sure all kids and parents will as well. ( ) I love the beginning of this book. Dog says Woof Woof. Cat, stretched out in a basket says, Quiet there, I’m hatching a kitten. Perfect intro to a cute book. Well, how long does it take to hatch a kitten egg? It took Horton, ( my favorite picture book of all times), a whole year to hatch his elephant bird. So how does a cat come to have an egg? Cat thinks it happened while sleeping. Upon waking there it was and it is the same color or kind of the same as cat’s yellow fur, so it must belong. Cat comes a bit weary of tending the egg and goes out to find help, all the while, toting the egg in his/her mouth. Cat is smart enough to enlist the help of other egg laying animals... crow, koel, turtle... but now the egg seems to be a little soggy for some reason. Sensing a problem, cat, with egg in mouth, rushes back to dog, lamenting that the egg is destroyed! Why is it gooey and melting? Well reader I must stop here and allow you to find out the fate of cat’s egg. You might ask, what is a koel? I did. It’s an Asian bird that lays its single egg in another bird’s nest, particularly the jungle crow. This is a cute addition for your spring collection of picture books. Cat wakes up one day on top of a yellow egg in this amusing picture-book from India, and, assuming that she must have laid it in the night, awaits the hatching of her kitten. She attempts to enlist the help of the other animals, from dubious Dog to skeptical Crow, but no one can help her. It is only when her egg begins to deteriorate that she discovers its true nature: it is Pairing an amusing text from Indian author Aparna Karthikeyan with appealing artwork from German illustrator Christine Kastl, who seems to have worked on a number of other Indian picture-books, Cat's Egg is an entertaining tale, one which teaches an important lesson about aucune critique | ajouter une critique
How long does it take to hatch a kitten? Cat isn't sure, but she would rather be snacking or napping. Join her as she looks around for a babysitter for her mysterious golden egg. She seeks help from her baffled friend Dog, a crow, a koel, and a turtle, for as we all know, it takes a village to raise an egg. Aparna Karthikeyan's delightfully humorous prose is complemented by Christine Kastl's art that has an almost three-dimensional quality to it. Together, they take you on a feline adventure quite unlike any other. The book includes an unforgettable informative note for kids about companion animal care.
