3 out of the 4 eggs hatched, but Shelly was not ready too.  His three sisters were ready but he was not. His sisters wanted him to be ready, but it did not matter to him.  Their parents told them it was fine, he was just taking his time, they just had to wait.  The girls; however, were impatent.  They went to the park and had fun, but Shelly didn't have an easy time doing those things, one sister finally decied that he wasn't ready, not ready like her at all. Back at home they did some painting.  Shelly again had a hard time, another sister decied that he wasn't ready, not ready like her.  The last sister wanted to dance with Shelly but it wasn't easy for him, she also decied that he wasnt ready.  All of the girls left and it was quiet, Shelly knew it was his time.  He buolt a fort, he palyed cards with his bunny, he did a puzzle, and so many things including a sign for his door that said NO SISTER ALLOWED.  He had a busy day and when the girls came home he put the top of his shell back on and the girls saw him and agreed that he was still not ready.  They wanted him to be ready, so he told the Wednesday and the girls were so excited!  The girls however, didn't ask which wednesday. 

I would recomend this book to any child.  It is a cute little book.

I do not think anything is wrong with this book.
