The Odd Egg

　　貓頭鷹、雞、紅鶴…每隻鳥都生了蛋，只有鴨子沒有。不過沒關係，因為他找到了一顆好大的怪蛋！這顆白色的巨蛋布滿綠色斑點，鴨子覺得它是全世界最漂亮的一顆蛋。雖然其他的鳥兒都覺得這顆蛋很醜，還聚在一起嘲笑鴨子，不過他一點都不在乎。時間過去，其他鳥兒們的蛋都孵化了，小鳥們一隻隻高興的和爸媽擁抱，只有鴨子的怪蛋還沒有孵化。他耐心的等了又等，直到有一天，巨蛋發出「嘎」一聲響，慢慢裂開了…究竟巨蛋裡面住的是什麼寶寶呢？(文／史黛拉)

　　Each of the birds has an egg...except for Duck. So when Duck finds a beautiful egg of his own he's delighted — even though the other birds make fun of it. But everyone's in for a BIG surprise when his egg finally hatches!

　　The witty text and playful illustrations appear on cleverly designed cut pages that allow the visual jokes to unfold.
