We are reading The Sun Egg to the youngest mini-monsters today. a lovely picture book created by Elsa Beskow. Her books are like fairy tales because they usually feature a fantasy character and all the animals can talk. They all live cozily together in the forest.
We love sweet elves and mischievous forest gnomes, all kinds of birds, frogs, squirrels and other forest inhabitants. Actually, The Solar Egg is a funny fairy tale in which everyone is wrong, until a bird comes along who knows more...
The illustrations are so pretty and in such beautiful colours. The pictures are works of art in themselves! The books by Elsa Beskow are a pleasure to read to the mini-monsters, who love them too!
3 bright shining stars for The Sun Egg (mini-edition), from the little listeners and their readers!
