Chicken or Egg cover

Chicken and Egg are best friends who love playing together but don't like losing. In the end, Chicken and Egg learn to appreciate having fun — no matter who wins!

With minimal words and vibrant illustrations, Chicken or Egg is a sweet and simple introduction to the concepts of good sportsmanship and losing gracefully.

Also included is a Note to Parents, Caregivers, Teachers, and Coaches with strategies to encourage children to focus on fun, not who comes first.

“The authors offer an empathetic message about how being first isn’t as important as being friends—and it’s more fun too.” —Publishers Weekly

"Chicken plays with Egg. Then, Egg plays with Chicken. Then, they get together and become best friends. This is a rhyming book. For example, at one point in the book, the author writes, “Fast. Passed. Last.” when Chicken and Egg have a race. So, in this book, the question, “Who comes first?” really refers to a chicken and an egg racing. Either way, I love rhymes. So this is a good book for me." —Kids' Book Buzz (Susan Faith, Age 9)
