When Nate Twitchell discovers that one of his family's hens has laid the biggest egg he has ever seen, he is determined to see it hatch. And when it does, neither he nor his parents, the townspeople, the scientists, or the politicians from Washington are prepared for what comes out!

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Great early chapter book submitted by shosh.lenski on August 21, 2015, 9:15am This was a great chapter book to read with my 4 year old. A few concepts had to be explained but the story was compelling and appropriately suspenseful/exciting without being scary.

Still charming after all these years submitted by peteralway on May 2, 2023, 6:20pm I read and enjoyed this as a kid, and I still found it amusing to read 50 years later as an adult. Some of the science may be obsolete, but its charm is not.
