surfed waikiki okay those are some

pretty gnarly waves

chicken no no there was a chicken behind

you

you saw him didn't you yeah i i think he

jumped into that book

whoa

the problem with chickens huh by bruce

mcmillan illustrated by ganila huh

we'd better read it cubs something foul

may be afoot

in a small village on the far end of

iceland there were plenty of eggs even

if there were no chickens

the eggs were on the cliffs where the

wild birds lived

[Music]

there were more eggs here than the

ladies of the village could ever use for

cooking

but it was too difficult for the ladies

to get these eggs

their husbands might have gathered them

but the men were always too busy fishing

and farming

so the ladies traveled to the city to

buy some chickens

the chickens were happy in the village

every day they laid many eggs

the ladies were overjoyed to have so

many eggs for cooking

their cakes were delicious

that is when the problem started

the chickens forgot they were chickens

they started acting

like ladies

when the ladies went to pick blueberries

the chickens went too

when the ladies went to a birthday party

the chickens went too

when the ladies sang to the sheep the

chickens sang too

when the ladies took a rest from their

gardening the chickens rested too

everything the ladies did the chickens

did too

[Music]

the ladies couldn't even have tea and

cakes by themselves

the chickens were so busy acting like

ladies that one day

they stopped laying eggs

that's when the lady said

we have a problem

so the ladies came up with an idea it

was a very clever idea

they would fool the chickens

the ladies started exercising

soon the chickens just like the ladies

were exercising

day after day the chickens exercised

just like the ladies

their wings grew stronger and stronger

then the ladies lifted the chickens one

by one into the air and said

remember you are birds

the chickens flew to places on the

cliffs where no other icelandic birds

lived there they made their nests and

laid their eggs

this could have been a problem but the

ladies had planned for this

the chickens weren't the only ones who

got strong from all that exercise

[Music]

finally the strong chickens in the far

end of iceland acted like birds

[Music]

and the strong icelandic ladies had no

problem gathering the eggs

also from then on

[Music]

if the ladies ever needed to go to the

city

it was no problem at all

the end

whoa

unity of all life you know how like

we're all really one

or

maybe not

back to the beginning

an egg is quiet by diana aston

illustrated by sylvia long

an egg is quiet

[Music]

it sits there under its mother's

feathers

[Music]

on top of its father's feet

[Music]

buried beneath the sand

warm

cozy

[Music]

an egg is colorful

an egg is shapely

[Music]

there are round eggs

round eggs fit together nicely in tight

spaces

there are oval eggs

there are pointy eggs

seabird eggs are pointy at one end so if

they're laid on rock ledges they roll

around in safe little circles not off

the cliff

there are even tubular eggs

the markings on some eggs help them

blend in with their surroundings

this is called camouflage

camouflage is an egg's way of hiding

an egg does not want to be eaten by a

raccoon or a snake or a fox or an insect

eggs come in different sizes

an ostrich egg is so big and so round it

takes two hands to hold one egg

hummingbird eggs are the size of a jelly

bean

egg is artistic

[Music]

an egg is textured

there are hard eggs

and soft eggs

and gooey eggs

there are smooth eggs

and rough eggs

an egg gives the little creature growing

inside it everything it needs

the shell is its home

the yolk is its food

the egg white or albumin is its pillow

the shell is covered with teeny tiny

holes which allow air to enter

[Music]

here's what a baby chick looks like

growing inside its egg after the first

three days

here it is at seven days

13 days

and 18 days

[Music]

after 21 days it hatches into a baby

chick

an egg is quiet

then suddenly

an egg is noisy

[Music]

the end

wow

here i thought an egg was quiet and it

turned out that the exact opposite is

also true

an egg is noisy

ah

this one is still pretty quiet

she's right why is this one quiet

that's because it isn't hatching if

something comes out of it then it will

be noisy

what's gonna hatch from it

maybe it's a duck

or huh turtle

or even

a dinosaur

who knows

well i have to go mow the lawn let me

know if the egg starts making noise okay
