It might look like a pebble from the beach, but Eliza knows this is an egg. And one night when she hears cracking, she discovers the Stone Bird. It might still look like a stone to her mum, but Eliza knows it’s alive. Step into the magical world of one child’s imagination in this stunning debut by exciting new author Jenny McCartney, illustrated by luminary of children’s books Patrick Benson.

I liked it so much because the mother thought it was a stone because it was so heavy.

I liked when the little egg hatched and became a bird. I liked best the little birds. I would recommend it to others.
