Product Description
Eggs, eggs, eggs -- everyone wants eggs! But do they want the same kinds of eggs? NO! Some prefer scrambled, some like fried, and some even want them raw.The only thing the hungry customers at this bustling diner seem to have in common is a desire for "TWO EGGS, PLEASE!" At the heart of this clever new look at similarities and differences by acclaimed author Sarah Weeks and Caldecott Honor-winning illustrator Betsy Lewin is an age-old truth -- it's what's inside that counts.
Amazon.com
A menagerie of customers parades through a diner, each one ordering "Two eggs, please." Sounds like an easy day for the fox waitress, right? Wrong. Everyone wants their eggs cooked (or not cooked!) differently. A red-capped rhino likes them sunny-side up, a stand-up bass-playing mouse in a tuxedo prefers them over easy, a stork in scrubs with a stethoscope around his neck asks for scrambled, and a snake on the shoulders of a nose ring-sporting crocodile wants them raw, natch. Each critter silently contemplates the others with one thought: "Different." Of course, when the unflappable bear chef starts to fill the orders with pairs of brown and white eggs, we are reminded of one of life's truisms: we’re all the same on the inside. Sarah Weeks and Caldecott Honor artist Betsy Lewin provide a unique and clever setting for a story with a simple, subtle message. (Ages 4 to 7) --Emilie Coulter

• Boring 13 April, 2006
We didn't enjoy Two eggs, Please. It was a little slow and not enough of a story to interest my 4 year old. Obviously needs a younger audience.

• And How Do You Like *your* Eggs? 05 April, 2004
A late night diner gets a lot of traffic in the wee hours of the morning. Everyone that enters orders two eggs, but how they want their eggs prepared is different. The fox waitress serves a rhino two sunny-side up eggs (and coffee--I noticed everyone gets coffee), a stork two scrambled eggs and a python two raw eggs, plus many of the other varieties of prepared eggs. The illustrations are fun and colorful, the text is easy to read and simple, and the story itself is a good springboard for discussing eggs, differences, eating out or breakfast.

• It's About More Than Eggs 22 March, 2007
This wonderful and simple story teaches that people from all different walks of life may look different and have different jobs and like things differently yet we are really all the same. I have used this book with children ages 2 to 9. I often bring real eggs and we write down all things that make them different, size, shape, color, bumpy, etc. and then crack them open to see they are all the same on the inside. Follow this book with Julius Lester's Let's Talk About Race and you have a fabulous lesson on equality.
