The Surprise

"Look at the egg," shouts Helen. "Something's happening. It's cracking." Slowly a long beak appears. "It's a bird," says Roger. (p.11)

When Aunt Elizabeth comes back from Greenland she has a very strange present for Roger and Helen - a big egg. One day when they are eating dinner the egg starts to crack open, and a pterodactyl appears. What do the children do with their new pet? And how does Dacty become a star.
