      About This Book

      Great Eggspectations...
      Jack Daw loves birds--all shapes, sizes, and breeds. One day his class visits the local zoo, and Jack finds himself face-to-face with an ostrich. Nine feet tall, weighing 345 pounds, this tremendous creature immediately captures Jack's heart.

      That's when Jack comes up with a plan. He steals an extra ostrich egg that's about to be fed to a snake, brings it home to his family's farm, and persuades a pair of geese to be its foster parents. But will this "Cuckoo Child" hatch? And what will Jack do if it does?
