This book is presented in a touch-and-feel format throughout. Mother Hen lays an egg but has no idea how to hatch it. She talks to it (flap), cooks a pot of spaghetti for it (strings), makes it a wooly jumper (material) - and more - but it never hatches. Mother Hen is so sad and sleepy she puts her egg on the bed and lays on it for 3 days. On the third day it hatches - and out comes a fluffy (fur material) baby chick!
