The Talking Eggs

A 1989 Caldecott Honor Book One of The Atlantic’s 65 Essential Children’s Books The author of such delights as The Christmas Ark and The Enchanted Tapestry joins forces with illustrator Pinkney to resurrect a colorful Creole folktale that captures the unique flavor of the American South. It's a tale of two sisters: Rose, who is spoiled and lazy but her mother's favorite, and sweet Blanche, who is forced to fetch and carry and do all the hard work for her mother and sister. Blanche's life is miserable until one day when 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 Virgina reel. Strangest of all are the wondrous talking eggs.
