What is Oval and White and Goes Crack, Crack, Crack? -- New Xlibris Author Takes Readers On a Colorful Eggs-Cursion (November 06, 2009)

BATTLE CREEK, Mich., Nov. 6, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Rhonda Washington brings an egg-citing, fun-filled picture book onto bookshelves with the release of The Egg. Published through Xlibris, The Egg reveals the versatile oval-shaped sensation can more than just crack-crack-crack, but also helps plants, promotes happiness, and balances on its end. Washington vividly illustrates in her book.

The Egg brings together a delightful hodgepodge of the biological, culinary, and traditional characteristics that define the hard-shelled oval structure to produce a creative egg facts book. Readers will find out just how versatile the egg can be through the many traditions it appears in, including games, knock-knock jokes, and art. The book underscores the egg as the biological beginning of various animals, and includes interesting trivia like what happens when an egg is soaked in vinegar for a week and the seasonal requirements that enable an egg to balance on its end. Washington also includes a special quest that lasts throughout the book.

Informative in all its creativity, The Egg is an eggs-quisite addition that will nurture a child's growing stockpile of knowledge and enhance any library collection. Readers who wish to learn more about this book can log on to www.Xlibris.com.

This book will be featured in the 2010 Michigan Library Association Book Exhibit in Acme, Michigan, on November 10 to 12, 2010. For more information, log on to www.Xlibris.com.
