On a visit to her sister Pearl's hobby farm, Old Mrs. Moody teaches Catbaloo how to gather eggs from the chicken coop. With their baskets full, they find a shady spot beneath a tree and sit down to examine the eggs.

When Old Mrs. Moody points out a beautiful speckled egg, Catbaloo is reminded of the story of Pipi, a little mouse who discovers a spectacular egg hidden in a clump of tall grass in the churchyard. Certain he hears something inside, Pipi rolls the egg home and keeps it warm while he waits for it to hatch.

As Catbaloo tells the story, Festus, a darling miniature donkey, climbs into Old Mrs. Moody's lap to listen. Perhaps you'd like to climb up next to Festus and hear the story, too.

There's much to learn from Pipi's Spectacular Egg: a little about chickens and eggs, and a lot about believing in things you cannot yet see.

Thank you for listening
