Books with title The Odd Egg

When the eggs hatches, and a baby dragon comes out, George knows exactly what to do. A baby dragon needs to learn how dragons are supposed to act, including how to fly, how to breathe fire, and how to defeat a knight-so George starts the dragon lessons right away! The dragon learns quickly, but he is anxious to find his own kind. Then George wakes up the next morning and the little dragon is missing. Will George ever see his dragon again?

This book reveals the mystery of the egg. The inside story is told from the first glimmerings of life growing inside the shell to the animals' struggle to be free. Over 200 action photographs capture each stage of the hatching process, from a penguin to a cygnet, from a gecko to a trout. The text guides the reader through the way that fishes, birds, reptiles, molluscs, amphibians and insects ensure the success of their eggs. Every aspect of the egg is explored. How many eggs can a domestic duck lay in one year? Do chicks communicate from inside the egg? How can a swallowtail caterpillar be larger that the egg it emerges from?
