As pop-ups go this doesn't have the intricate engineering that [[Peter Pan by Robert Sabuda|some books]] have but it's all the better for that. It's sufficient to tell the story perfectly without there being too much to go wrong. Small hands find it difficult to resist the allure of a good pop-up and whilst this book is quite robust it won't stand a lot of rough handling, but isn't delicate to the point where it needs to be a book 'that Mummy keeps'.
It's a delight to share with a child. There's are fun and laughter on every page and a great deal to talk about. It's all been done on the basis of 'opportunities to ask' rather than information being force-fed and I think you'll be surprised at quite how wide-ranging the discussion can be, even with a young child.
I'd like to thank the publishers for sending a copy to The Bookbag. We also have a review of [[Max and Bird by Ed Vere]].
For another favourite book about eggs , we can recommend [[The Odd Egg by Emily Gravett]].
