A boy goes for a walk one morning in search of a couple of things for his breakfast. With the curiosity of a young child, he investigates a gate, a truck, a tractor, a haystack, a cow, a sheep, and a pony. None of these interesting objects lay the eggs he wants for breakfast. All the while, a chicken follows him. Retrieving eggs in the chicken coop, he shows he always knew where to find the eggs.

The illustrations give the book a classic feel. The lines of the sweet illustrations are reminicent of Robert McCloskey and the playful colors bring to mind Gyo Fujikawa’s characters.
