Daniel’s Mystery Egg is a funny tale about a little boy who finds a strange small egg one day while he’s playing. Daniel gets advice from many of his curious friends about the contents of the egg. One friend suggests that the egg contains an alligator and another suggests it’s an ostrich, but Daniel seems to outsmart the group in his prediction of the egg’s inhabitant.
Many of Daniel’s friends suggest that the egg’s contents will completely change Daniel’s life. He’ll have to move because the egg contains a beast that can’t be in a house. Or he’ll have to train the mystery animal to be quiet so his parents don’t find out he has a pet. Each of the suggestions is humorous, and kept my six-year-old interested in the story.
This Level 2 Green Light Reader is recommended for kids ages 5-7. It’s beautifully illustrated and is written in both English and Spanish. The Spanish version helped to keep my son’s interest, since he’s learning Spanish at school. If this is not the case with your child, however, then the Spanish version may be confusing and distracting.
This is one of those books that you’ll definitely enjoy for the first read, but it’s not necessarily one you’ll pick up over and over. My son and I both thought it was a fun and interesting story, but it probably won’t become one of our regular reads.
