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

Just One More Egg (Science Folktales Book 6) by Lois Wickstrom. This was such an educational book for me. I’m sure it would be great for older kids as well. It the story of a Mother Warbler who is sitting on her nest of eggs and one day out of the blue a cuckoo bird drops her egg in the warbler nest. Mother Warbler doesn’t know what to do so she decides to take care of it. The mother Warbler doesn’t waiver even when the other Warbler mom’s tell her to get rid of it. Cuckoo birds are much larger than Warbler’s and can be a danger to them. But Mother Warbler sticks to her guns and continues to take care of the Cuckoo egg regardless of the end results. Once the eggs are hatched the baby cuckoo actually protects his sibling eggs and saves them from a cat. This would be a great educational tool for middle to older children.
