Two Eggs, Please. by Sarah Weeks

misspippireads's review

5.0

Two Eggs, Please features a wide audience of critters who visit a diner and order eggs. Each egg order is different, but the eggs themselves are the same. Different and same are highlighted in this brief story. It's fun and bright and offers the reader an opportunity to play with a wide range of voices for each character and their order.

Theme: Bacon & Eggs
Additional themes: food, restaurants, the number two, same/different

Reviewed from a library copy.

Book has a good life lesson in it, but B didn't care for the pictures very much, and let's face it, that's where she's at right now.

I like the simplicity of this book. Animals sit at a counter at the diner and order two eggs, please. One wants them sunny-side up, one hard-boiled, one poached. Hmmm, different, they all think. Not bad, or ew, or weird, or wrong. Just different, but the same, too. Love when authors and illustrators don't use sledgehammers to get a message across - and any book with layer cakes under glass covers and spinny stools at a diner counter is going to feel welcoming to me. Try this with early elementary for basic diversity discussions.

This book communicates a profound message about the nuance of what we have in common with one another and ways we differ from one another. With minimal words, the lesson stands strong.
