A gentle story about dinosaurs and belonging. A dinosaur egg is blown out of its nest and down a hill. It is lost and upset. Five different dinosaurs try to find out who the egg belongs to. We learn about the key characteristics of dinosaur species such as a Stegosaurus’ spikes and a Corythosaurus’ crest. Just as the egg hatches, the parents are discovered. Latimer’s illustrations are bright and eye-catching. The text is rhythmic and rhyming and reads well aloud. Children will enjoy joining in with the repeated refrain ‘What do you look like inside that shell? / I can’t see in so I can’t tell’. Perfect for sharing with children aged 2 to 6.
