Just One More Egg by Lois Wickstrom – Review by Jennifer Ramos

Just One More Egg: A Science Folktale by Lois Wickstrom
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I’ve now read a few of Wickstrom’s other children’s books and love each of them. This one was no different and a wonderful read! I just love hearing how simple scientific concepts are transitioned into tales for children to developmentally understand and interpret for their own sense of being. As a mother and a former preschool teacher, this will be another great addition to your children’s library!
This story deals with a nest of Warblers and one day a much larger, different single egg appears in their nest. Already presenting judgment from just its size, the mama warbler decides to take a positive approach by saying if she is able to bring food to her own younglings that she could do the same for this new, different bird. As criticism continues, an unexpected situation occurs, which changes the perspective of this new, larger bird being in the nest. Without giving too much away, this is such a great lesson for young children to learn acceptance, having a positive mindset, and working towards seeking the best in others.
