The Enormous Egg by Oliver Butterworth
First published in 1956, this beloved children’s novel blends small-town life with an extraordinary twist. When young Nate Twitchell’s hen lays an unusually large egg, no one can quite believe what hatches from it—a baby triceratops! What follows is a heartwarming and often humorous story of responsibility, friendship, and the challenges of caring for something truly out of the ordinary.
Rich with gentle satire and imaginative adventure, The Enormous Egg remains a favorite for readers who enjoy classic mid-century children’s literature. A perfect choice for young dinosaur lovers and nostalgic collectors alike.
