One night the Little Green Erin went for a walk under the blue stars. She came to an egg. It was the strangest egg she had ever seen - it wasn't a robin's egg, because it wasn't blue. It wasn't an Easter egg, because it didn't have stripes or fancy colors. It had letters on it. It was an Alphabet Egg.

She picked up the egg to take it home to her brother Alek, because he was very good with letters. Then she realized she could read the letters too - all kinds of different letters, like "A" and "E" and "R" and "Z". As she was carrying the egg home to Alek, she heard a knocking sound. "Knock knock knock." It was coming from the egg!

The knocking was getting louder and louder. She got to her house and called "Alek! Come see my alphabet egg!" Alek came running. Mama and Dada came running, too. And right then, there was a loud knock and a crack in the egg. The crack got bigger and bigger and out popped the whole alphabet!

Erin and Alek brought the baby alphabet up into Alek's room and made all kinds of stories out of it. Then the stories hatched more eggs. Erin and Alek brought all the eggs outside and buried them in the woods for other kids to find.
