   October's  Book of the Month

The Talking Eggs

By Robert D. San Souci

Pictures by Jerry Pinkney

This book is a tale of two sisters: Rose, who is lazy and spoiled but her mother's favorite daughter, and sweet Blanche, who is forced to do all the hard work for her mother and sister. Blanche's life is miserable until one day her kindness to an old witch-woman catapults her into a miraculous world where cows have two heads and bray like mules, and rabbits in fancy dress dance the Virginia reel. Strangest of all are the wondrous talking eggs, which dramatically prove that beauty may hide great ugliness while the plainest of objects may conceal treasure within.
