This book is in the following series:
"Peep and Egg I'm Not Hatching"
"Rendered with thick lines, flat colors, and simple cartoonlike shapes, Wan s illustrations are a joyous complement to Gehl s text. Children will listen in anticipation of what will make Egg finally hatch; their adult readers will smile in recognition of the predictable toddler stubbornness." "Kirkus Reviews"
""
"""Gehl s just-enough text delivers a spot-on channeling of a coaxing parent and oppositional child, while Wan blends expressive emoji-like characters (even unhatched, Egg has a vividly cranky personality) with ingeniously geometric settings. A scene in which Peep and Egg imagine watching a sunrise together is a marvelous array of shapes and lines." "Publishers Weekly"
""
"""Charmingly illustrated by Wan with bold strokes and spot-on facial expressions, this picture book is delightful. Gehl has created an appealing duo with the enthusiastic Peep and the lovably neurotic Egg. The constant refrain of I m not hatching will be a winner at storytime. VERDICT A clever way to demonstrate overcoming one s fears." "School Library Journal""
