Condor's Egg

This simple little tale of a pair of condors manages to relate information about the natural history of this charismatic species in a most charming way. The illustrations seemingly come to life as they illustrate the text.

This is the story of an egg, a precious package. The author creates a tension when the egg is found cracked. Was it from the ferocious storm that hurled lightning strikes at the protective cave? Or, was it the beginning of the struggle of the baby condor to free itself from the egg it had outgrown? As the storm clears and the sunny day lights the cave, you can find out for yourself about the fate of the condor’s egg.
