The Happy Egg by Ruth Krauss
Perfect as a baby shower or Easter basket gift, The Happy Egg celebrates the promise and confidence of little birds (and young children) everywhere.
A simple and delightful story for parents and children to enjoy together, now with a refreshed cover design. From the husband-and-wife team who created the timeless classic The Carrot Seed.
The Happy Egg is just right for the youngest of readers, and the storyline lends itself to interactive reading--parents can encourage their children to walk, sing, and fly as the little bird does.
Ruth Krauss (1901-1993), a member of the experimental Writer's Laboratory at the Bank Street School in New York City in the 1940s, imaginatively used humor and invented words to create some of the very first books for children that highlighted a child's inner life. She collaborated with some of the greatest illustrators in children's literature, including Maurice Sendak and her husband, Crockett Johnson.
Marc Simont (1915-2013) illustrated nearly a hundred books. He won a Caldecott Honor in 1950 for illustrating Ruth Krauss's The Happy Day, and in 1957 he was awarded the Caldecott Medal for his pictures in A Tree Is Nice by Janice May Udry. He is the illustrator for The New York Review Children's Collection books The Wonderful O and The 13 Clocks.
