From the publisher
When a little bird is inside an egg, it cannot walk, it cannot sing, and it cannot fly. All it can do is be sat on. But when the time is just right: "Pop!" -- out it comes. And then a little bird can do almost anything! With the same insightful simplicity of their classic The Carrot Seed, Ruth Krauss and Crockett Johns...
