Mama Warbler had 6 eggs and a Cuckoo Bird left one of her eggs in mama Warblers nest. Despite neighbors warning of not being able to care for the extra bird, or feed the extra bird, mama Warbler accepted the egg as her own.

Adorable story with beautiful pictures and a great story line. A great book to teach kids about how being different is ok and that not all families are the same. This story sends a great message to kids about taking care of one another even if they are different then you.

Super cute read! I could see using this in my classroom. I like the classic feel of the story particularly the illustrations. I could see this as a resource in a science unit about food chains. I really enjoy books by this author and find them useful and enjoyable.

This author has done it again. She has created a book that not only my daughter enjoyed but one that I also enjoyed reading with her. The book was engaging and fun and based on one of my favourite fairytales. It tells such an important story but on a level that the intended audience will easily understand.
This author is quickly becoming a firm favourite in our household and I can’t wait to read more.

This books tells me everything happens for a reason. And blessings sometimes comes in disguises. The mama Warbler accepts the cuckoo like her own and faces backlash. Cuckoo ends up protecting the other babies from a cat that was trying to eat them. The mama Warbler takes it in stride of feeding her own and the cuckoo. Short sweet book. I loved it.

I loved this book! It’s a cute story I enjoyed sharing with my son. Mama Warbler taught us how far a mother’s love extends to those around her. We also learned how the cuckoo bird lays its eggs. I recommend this book for young children, parents, and educators.

This was such a cute and engaging story. The images of the illustrations were just as wonderful as the story went as well! I very much enjoyed how the story went, I think all Mamas feel the same, it does not matter where your child comes from, they are yours. I also found the lesson valuable not to judge another by appearance as sometimes the trust you do not have can prove you wrong. As with this story with the neighbor! I found the story cute and insightful. A book that is sure to be cherished and enjoyed!

This was hands down one of the best children’s books I have read in a very long time. It includes facts within the storyline and makes the lesson of sharing/caring fun to read! Every mom will go out of her way for her own children, but what if someone just dumped a child with you? How would you feel? How would you react? This story shows how Mama Warbler handles this situation with grace and teaches her neighbor how to be grateful for every situation – even when it means doing twice the amount of work.

Just One More Egg: A Science Folktale (Science Folktales) by Lois Wickstrom
Another fantastic read by the author. My daughter absolutely loves the author and loves me reading them to her. The author knows how to keep readers coming back.
A Cuckoo bird lays her egg in another bird’s nest. The bird doesn’t mind and keeps it. The neighbor bird says to get rid of it. I couldn’t really choose a quote for the bird.
Highly recommended for Kids and Family lovers.
This book was fun. It reminds me of all the mamas I know that says “oh it okay, I can have one more child for the afternoon”. It’s about helping take care of those around and us. No child left behind. I love this children’s book and recommend to all. Great author, well done!Just One More Egg: A Science Folktale by Lois Wickstrom

Mama Warbler is carefully protecting her egg when a cuckoo decides to lay an egg in her nest. Deciding to care for the egg, she is met with questions about her reasoning only to be praised when something unexpected happens.
Really well done for this book. The story talks about different types of birds as well as the elements the birds have to go to to protect their young.

When a cuckoo lays an egg in a warbler’s nest, Mama Warbler isn’t sure what to do! Her friend suggests she get rid of the egg, but she is determined to take care of it! Mama Warbler takes care of the baby cuckoo, treating it like she would her own. One day, when Mama Warbler is in danger, the baby cuckoo repays her kindness.
This story was beautifully written with scientific details, while still being fun and relatable. Kids are able to learn a valuable lesson on how to treat others with kindness and accept everyone, even if they are different. My kids loved the colorful illustrations in this story! The pictures brought the story to life and connected everything together! I can not wait to read more by this author.

Science is cool. Mama Warbler had 6 eggs that she was sitting on when a Cuckoo dropped an egg into her next. Mama took care of the egg even when her neighbors questioned it. What she learns in the end is that by taking care of the egg, the hatchling took care of her babies. If we all take care of each other, things work out in the end.

This was such a cute story with some great illustrations that showed up well on a Kindle. Young kids of all ages will enjoy this sweet story about acceptance and not judging someone based on looks. The mama bird was so sweet to keep the baby cuckoo egg and not treat the baby any different, despite what her negative neighbor kept suggesting. The author did great job of explaining the science of how the cuckoo birds leave their eggs in other bird’s nests in a fun way for kids to understand. I definitely recommend this book for folks who want to help kids learn more about birds and compassion.

This is a cute story with some pretty illustrations. Not only is there a little drama to keep it interesting but children will learn about cuckoos and warblers . Although it seems cruel that a mama cuckoo will abandon her egg in another bird’s nest, it is beneficial to them both. The book also shows that even if you are different, you are still deserving of love which is important for children to know.

This book made my Mama heart swell up with happiness. It truly shows how selfless a mama can be. It doesn’t matter if you share the same blood when a baby needs you, you help. I really lived this book so so much.

As with all this author’s books, she can teach kids a lesson using animals. This one was with birds. It was a nice and different choice of an animal. I love that she taught about love and caring for all animals even if they are not your own. There was a little sadness involved, but it helped tell the story of hope so that made up for the tear that I may have shed. Depending on the age of the child there may be questions of why that you will have to answer, but I think it will provide a parent or teacher with a teaching moment. I love the illustrations that she provides with the story as they are always so cute. The colors are always so vivid which I love.

Just One More Egg: A Science Folktale (Science Folktale Series) by Lois Wickstrom is a cute children’s story that has an interesting storyline, colourful illustrations, a bit of adventure, educational elements, and a touch of drama to keep things interesting.
What happens when a cuckoo lays her egg in a warbler nest? What happens when the chick hatches? This is well worth the read to find out…
This cute and quirky story was engaging and fun, feeding both the imagination, as well as inspiring a little learning.
Happy reading!

Mama Warbler has just laid 6 eggs and she’s patiently waiting on them to hatch. One day, a Cuckoo flies into her nest and lays an egg, then just disappears. Mama Warbler’s neighbor keeps trying to get her to toss the much larger egg away but Mama insists on keeping it. When the baby cuckoo hatches, it’s much bigger than Mama herself and this baby eat A LOT! Mama is busy collecting food when a cat stops by for a visit. Baby cuckoo protects Mama’s nest but the neighbor looses a baby. The neighbor decides that baby cuckoo isn’t so bad after all and she’s hoping to gain one next year.
This is a super cute book by an author that I love! The illustrations are very well-done as well. This would be a great teaching tool about birds and egg laying, about friendships, loyalty, trust, and the importance of all lives.

What a cute and sad story! Mama Warbler ended up with a cuckoo egg in her nest. She could have kicked it out but kept it. What was one more? She just accepted it. Because she accepted the cuckoo bird, her nest was safe from the cat. Neighbor bird, however, wasn’t. She lost an egg to the cat. We shouldn’t judge by the looks, smells, etc. Everyone has a role in our lives. I did find it interesting that the eggs aren’t that much bigger and even though the bird is larger, the momma still takes on the baby cuckoo. Even an old lady can learn new facts. Cute children book that makes a great story time book
