Zonka Lays an Egg is a place where the skies are forever bright and all things radiate delicious hues." ―The Wall Street Journal Extraordinary hen P. Zonka spends her time taking in the beauty around her: the shiny green of the grass, the buttery yellow of the dandelions, the deep blue of the sky. The other hens can't understand why she never lays eggs like they do―they think she's just plain lazy. But when P. Zonka finally decides to give egg-laying a try, the other chickens are in for a spectacular surprise Award-winning author and illustrator Julie Paschkis is sure to delight readers with this lovely story, inspired by the Ukrainian tradition of pysanky, about enriching the imagination and appreciating the beauty of the world Awards: Parents' Choice Recommended Award ―Parents' Choice Foundation Also by Julie Paschkis: |
