The story begins when two sisters, Carly and Riley are busy playing in their tree house. The girls had just sat down to have a tea party when they noticed something odd on the window sill. "What in the world is that?" questioned Carly. "It is a purple egg with pink fuzz " replied Riley. The girls decided to take the strange looking egg inside and show it to their mother. "I have no idea what this is or what will hatch from it", said their mom. The two sisters begged their mother to keep the egg and promised to take excellent care of it. Each girl came up with their own unique routine to care for the egg. It wasn't long before the egg-straordinary egg hatched and an adorable little chick with pink feathers was born. "I know, let's name her Minnie the Sassy Chick " giggled Riley. "That is the perfect name for her " laughed Carly. When their dad came home from work and saw the unusual little chick, he was concerned. "It is a really big responsibility to have a pet," he explained. Could the two sisters handle it? Do they get to keep Minnie? You'll have to read the book and see what happens next.
