Reddit reviews The Enormous Egg

The Enormous Egg by Oliver Butterworth

Great book.

Have you read The Enormous Egg? It's a children's book about a kid who gets a baby stegosaurus for a pet and has to deal with it growing up.

Late edit: It was pointed out that this was a triceratops, not a stegosaurus. I'm sorry, reddit.

Does it happen to be The Enormous Egg?

I don't think I've read any real hard sci-fi, I'll check it out!

This is unrelated, but the title of the book really reminded me of this: http://www.amazon.com/Enormous-Egg-Oliver-Butterworth/dp/0316119202

The Enormous Egg on my "Son" list. Thanks for the contest!

   There are many wonderful old stories that get ignored today because publishers haven't updated the cover art and illustrations. Even the latest Roald Dahl and Beverly Cleary books have covers only parents could love. So, read these old stories to your kids now because they're not likely to pick them up at the library, and probably won't even see them at a Scholastic book fair.
   
   There are books kids choose, and books parents choose for kids. Except for Harry Potter, I'd stick to the older classics for bedtime reading.
   

i was going to say this but couldn't remember if it hatched a dragon. apparently it hatched a dinosaur. really random book.

reminds me of "The Enormous Egg" first published I think in 1956.
