What could possibly hatch from an egg on your forehead?

Paco is running through the house at full speed when he slips, bumps his head, and suddenly finds something very strange: an egg has appeared on his forehead. An egg?!

Determined to prepare for whatever might hatch, Paco dives into a gigantic encyclopedia of eggs to investigate. Could it be an ostrich? A platypus? A turtle… or even a crocodile? As he compares sizes, colours, and the eggs of creatures from across the animal kingdom, Paco’s imagination runs wild. But there’s only one way to find out what’s inside…

A playful and surprising picture book that invites young readers to guess, imagine, and laugh along as Paco waits for the mysterious egg to hatch.
