The Shiny Coat - Hardcover

A young girl, while helping her mother with breakfast one morning, drops an egg on the kitchen floor. Immediately, her dog, always on the lookout for a snack, starts to eat it. She worries at first, but her mother assures her it's okay because the egg will help to make his coat shiny.

Because of her mother's simple advice about the health benefits from eating eggs, the young girl decides to start feeding them to the dog after school every day, and what begins as one egg turns into a lot of eggs.

Eventually, her little experiment takes an interesting turn, one she didn't count on or expect, but because of the change, she learns a valuable lesson about life and the importance of being truthful.
