I'm reading the Enormous Egg. This book is a classical story about a kid named Nate Twitchell who saw a the hen lay a very large egg. Nate works hard to have that egg hatch. After six weeks the egg hatched. The creature that was inside that egg was a triceratops. A palentologist made Nate and the small town of Freedom, New Hampshire famous. Scientists and reporters from across the nation made comotion in Nate's residence. He has many offers to sell the animal but he is determined to stay with the animal. Now he has obstacles of caring for the animal because it's growing really fast.
The author, Oliver Butterworth, has made this book comprehendable for people of our century because this story was made in the year 1956. Normally stories from this century use words that aren't common anymore. This book is awesome because it takes me three paragraphs to become from a reader to a witness.

ReplyDeleteSounds like an interesting book. What do you mean by your last paragraph & making the book understandable? Do you find books from the 1950's hard to understand? How come? Do you think the language is different?
