This slim graphic novel is thoroughly endearing, without being saccharine. It begins with the birth of the main egg, Feather, and his sister Five Spots. They leave the farm, arrive at the store, and end up in refrigerator, where they meet Old Man Broccoli. Then, Feather and his friends escape being breakfast, only to realize that their troubles still haven't ended. I don't want to give away too much, but it involves true love, shopping sprees, and a ninja lifestyle. The eggs' adventures are charming and silly, but at the same time have a grimly realistic edge to them. This book will change the way you think about the contents of your pantry, and just maybe, your life. ( )

An egg becomes a ninja, what's not to like? ( )
