«The Golden Egg Book» is the children's picture book by Margaret Wise Brown, published by Golden Books in hardback (32 pages, in English).
A lonely bunny finds an egg from which a sound comes. Intrigued, he tries to find out what it contains, but his efforts are unsuccessful and he ends up exhausted. While he sleeps, the duckling manages to hatch, and a friendship is born between them.
Originally published in 1947 and reissued in 2004, this classic from the Big Little Golden Book collection features the original illustrations by Leonard Weisgard.
Aimed at young children, it works as an Easter story to read aloud and share with the family.
