Sally’s class is hatching chicks for a science project, but her egg looks different from the start. When it cracks open, out comes Argus: green, scaly, yellow-eyed, and definitely not a chick.
Argus does not act like the other classroom pets. He does not eat what they eat. He keeps getting bigger. He causes trouble. And while the other children cuddle their soft little chicks, Sally is stuck with a creature no one quite understands.
With sly humor and a tender heart, Argus turns a classroom surprise into a story about accepting someone unusual. This funny picture book is a strong choice for readers who enjoy school stories, oddball animals, and gentle lessons about empathy and belonging.
