This is a beautifully simple picture book that celebrates the wonder of new life - the perfect Easter gift! There once was a little little bird. It was so little, it was only an egg...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!
