Egg-Napped!

Today I read the book Egg-Napped! By Marissa Montes

After I read the title I asked the kids if they knew what it meant
20 kids just stared at me with blank faces
I then asked if they knew  what it meant to be kid napped
19 kids with blank faces
C quickly raised his hand and said "it's when you go missing!"
I said "yes, so what do you think is going to happen in the book with the egg?"
20 blank stares


The plot of the book goes a little like this:
Two Geese have an egg
The egg rolls away
A turtle finds the egg and tries to disguise it
A Squirrel tries to help the geese by rolling the egg away from the turtle
The egg rolls down a big hill
It flies off the edge of a cliff where a huge hawk snags it up in the air
The squirrel is really a flying squirrel who saves the egg from the hawk
The egg plummets to the ground
The flying squirrel turns into a parachute and saves the egg
The geese are looking at the egg and waiting for it to hatch

Just as I was getting to the end of my story
C says "I bet the egg really doesn't belong to the geese and it's really a turtle egg!"

My jaw just dropped
Ha, who knew the kid picked up on a possible foreshadow
Good thought
I smiled at C and said "hum, maybe you are right, lets read the rest to see what happens"

The end of the Book: A baby goose hatches

Then C said "that book was boring"
