About this book

<p>When a little bird is inside an egg, it cannot walk, it cannot sing, and it cannot fly. All it can do is be sat on. But when the time is just right: "Pop!" -- out it comes. And then a little bird can do almost anything!</p><p>With the same insightful simplicity of their classic The Carrot Seed, Ruth Krauss and Crockett Johnson celebrate the promise and confidence of little birds (and young children) everywhere.</p>

About Unknown Author

Ruth Krauss was born in Baltimore, Maryland, on July 25, 1901, to Julius and Blanche (Rosenfeld) Krauss. She constantly read, wrote, and drew as a child, and was allowed to quit school after the eighth grade to study art and the violin. Krauss eventually earned a B.A. degree from the Parsons School of Fine and Applied Art in New York City and casually studied anthropology at Columbia University. She married David Johnson Leisk, who wrote and illustrated children's books under the pseudonym Crockett Johnson, in 1941. ([Source][1].)
