The Talking Eggs
AuthorRobert D. San Souci
ISBN0803706197
I’ve never heard anything like this tale before. It is a great tale. It could be an excellent movie done right. It’s a Creole folktale. The artwork is done in colored pencils.

I love this line “They lived on a farm so poor, it looked like the tail end of bad luck.” That is a great way to start...
