Gabbler and his wife couldn't be happier. They've just had their first egg! But during the celebrations, the Egg quietly tips, totters, and tumbles away -- and everyone thinks it's been egg-napped.

Come join this hilarious romp through the forest as the Gabblers and their friends search high and low for the beloved Egg. Young readers will be surprised and delighted from beginning to end as this wild goose egg chase unfolds.

While the others were dancing
And feasting that day,
The Egg tipped and tottered
And tumbled away.
It rolled past the pond
And rolled on down the hill,
And nobody noticed....
No, no one, until --

If you want to know what happens to the Egg, read the book!
