Plot summaryThe Grunt Tribe live in a big cave next to a volcano. When Little Grunt is told that the Ugga-Wugga Tribe is coming over for Sunday brunch the next day Mama Grunt orders him to find some eggs so that she can make an omelette. Little Grunt searches high and low and there are no eggs to be found anywhere. Just then he stumbles over the biggest egg he has ever seen. He carefully drags it home so that it doesn't break and shows it to his family. They are very impressed. The egg is left in front of the fire when all the Grunts go to bed. During the night they all wake up to a cracking and breaking noise and, in the hearth, they find a baby dinosaur amongst the broken egg shells. Little Grunt keeps the dinosaur, who he names "George", as a pet and so begins a strong friendship.[5] ReceptionKirkus Reviews found "The illustrations are typical dePaola. The kids will lap it up, as they do TV cartoons of the same undemanding quality."[6] while Publishers Weekly stated "This lively twist on the familiar tale of a boy and his pet is sure to provoke giggles."[7]References1. ^{{cite news |title=For Children |page=D5 |work=The Day (New London) |date=August 4, 2006 }} {{Portal |Children's literature}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Little Grunt And The Big Egg}}{{Child-picture-book-stub}}2. ^{{cite book |title=The Essential Guide to Selecting and Using Core Reading Programs |last=Dewitz |first=Peter |page=83 |year=2010 |publisher=International Reading Association |isbn=978-0-87207-707-2 }} 3. ^{{cite book |title=How to Report on Books, Grades Prek-K |last=Norris |first=Jill |author2=Melanie Coon |page=60 |year=2005 |publisher=Evan-Moor |isbn=978-1-59673-083-0 }} 4. ^{{cite book |title=Teaching language and literature in elementary classrooms: a resource book for professional development |last=Popp |first=Marcia S. |page=264 |year=1996 |publisher=Routledge |isbn=978-0-8058-2253-3 }} 5. ^{{cite book |title=A green dinosaur day: a guide for developing thematic units in literature-based instruction, K-6 |last=Roberts |first=Patricia |page=46 |year=1993 |publisher=Allyn and Bacon |isbn=978-0-205-14007-7 }} 6. ^{{cite web |url=https://www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews/tomie-depaola/little-grunt-and-the-big-egg/ |website=www.kirkusreviews.com |title=Little Grunt and the Big Egg: A Prehistoric Fairytale |date=15 March 1990 |publisher=Kirkus Media LLC |accessdate=12 June 2015 }} 7. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.publishersweekly.com/978-0-8234-0730-9 |website=www.publishersweekly.com |title=Little Grunt and the Big Egg: A Prehistoric Fairytale |publisher=PWxyz LLC |accessdate=12 June 2015 }} 3 : 1990 children's books|American picture books|Children's fiction books |
