The story shows Edward's obvious vulnerability...he is an egg. My favorite part was when Edward helped a young fox get out of a trap. Later, in chapter 8, the fox's family provided safety for Ed as a crow eyed him for lunch. The author then ends chapter 8 and gives the reader a chance to draw how you see Edward the Egg.
The message is good, but the book needs a good edit to fix punctuation errors and improve the verbs – for instance, when Edward is asking a question, it says he replied rather than asked, and the cashier thinks something, but Edward hears her). The grammar also needs some work (for example, Edward says “I better go” on page 33 instead of “I’d better go”).Also, if Edward was the first one in the store and he arrived as the cashier was unlocking the doors, how was a lady in a scooter cart already in the store shopping? The author should take another look and improve the text.
This is an adorable story about the courage to be kind. The message is beautiful!The illustrations are simple, but I appreciate that kids can color them.
My kids thought this book was fun and entertaining! The images are silly (in the best way) and they've requested to read the book more than once—which is the ultimate endorsement.
"Edward the Egg, A Different Kind of Brave" is a cute adventure story about having the courage to do the right thing. It is also a story about how to find inner happiness and satisfaction. It is also a story about understanding one's limitations and carefully making plans to work within those limitations to achieve your goals. Edward is a resourceful character who is physically very fragile. But he has arms, legs, a bicycle, and a brain on his...well, maybe he doesn't have shoulders, but he does have a brain. And he uses them all to go to the grocery to buy the ingredients for a recipe he loves. The plot has twists and turns, throwing curve balls into Edward's carefully crafted plan, and he must make decisions on the fly to adjust. After some soul-searching, he always decides to go outside his comfort zone to help someone, cheer someone up, reassure someone, or accept someone's kindness toward him. A child can learn so much from this story about what it means to have character and integrity. The illustrations are very crude pencil drawings that are meant to encourage the young reader to draw their interpretation of the scene on a blank page following the illustrations. These drawing opportunities are sprinkled throughout the story. This would be a good story to share with your youngster at bedtime or anytime.
