Tillie Lays An Egg
By Golson, Terry Blonder
Tillie is unlike the other six chickens on her farm. She doesn’t lay eggs in the nesting box like the others, but instead wanders the farm and lays them in unusual spots. The photography and light text makes this modern farm tale a top read. Favorite part was spotting Tillie’s egg in each setting. “That silly chicken keeps loosing her eggs!” – Little Reader
