Review Quotes: "An eggs-traordinary treat from a master storyteller." --School Library Journal (Starred Review)
"Just the thing to lighten up a picture-book hour." --Kirkus Reviews (Starred Review) "Kids will giggle at the frogs' repeated references to the friendly newborn as `the chicken.' They'll be even more tickled when the frogs chuckle at the `mother chicken' who, finally reunited with her offspring, greets her `sweet little alligator' . . . In his 40th book, Lionni is in typically fine form." --Publisher's Weekly
