A mistaken discovery becomes a lesson in laughing at yourself

While chasing butterflies, Peg finds an object she believes is an egg and takes on the job of protecting and caring for it. Her guesses about what might hatch—and the care she gives it—lead to an embarrassing discovery. The story uses Peg’s mistake to explore self-esteem, self-reliance, and how humor can help when things do not go as expected.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 interested in humorous stories about mistakes and embarrassment.
  • Families seeking a picture-book story about self-esteem and learning to laugh at yourself.

Book overview

A hilarious story about making a mistake and learning to laugh at yourself.

One day, as Peg is running around chasing butterflies, she comes upon an egg! What is it doing out in the field by itself?! It's a big egg, and she wonders what it could be! A turtle? An ostrich? A DRAGON?

Peg takes her role of caretaker of the egg very seriously. She keeps the egg warm, protects it from the dog and the rain, sings it songs, and patiently waits for something to hatch. Until she discovers it's not an egg at all. Oh no! Peg is so embarrassed. How could she have made such a ridiculous mistake?

With similarly funny antics to Jo Renfro's Peg Gets Crackin' and Peg Gets Plucky, this new story is perfect for showing how humor and laughter can help overcome embarrassing moments.
