Title: The Big Egg

Setting: At the shed, at the fence

Characters: Mum, Dad (If we use the word "Dad" alone, we capitalise the D as it is a proper noun) and their children

Start of the story: The children were ("Children" is a plural noun and should be paired with the plural verb "were") looking for eggs and putting them in a box in their shed. Dad had an idea and he put a big egg into/in the hen's nest. (As the big egg was being moved into a space (hen's nest), we use the preposition "into"/"in" to convey the direction of movement into that space.)

Middle of the story: The children found the big egg. (The big egg was introduced at the start of the story and "a" was used. Now, "the" should be used as the reader already knows which specific egg you are referring to.) They thought that the egg was too big and could not belong to their for their hen.

End of the story: Dad showed ostriches to their his children the ostriches in across the other side of the fence. (You cannot put the ostriches "in" the fence. I presume you are referring to the ostriches on one side of the fence, while Dad and his children were on the other side.)

My favorite part of the story is where Kipper found a big egg.

My opinion: Dad was funny when he put the big egg into hen’s nest. I think he had a plan to make his children laugh.

Thank you for correcting my book report in advance.

and I have a question for the word I used in my report.

I'm not sure about " shed and fence" (A shed is a small farm building where farmers can store farm equipment. A fence can be a wooden structure that cordons off the farm from its surrounding land.)

Is there any exact expression about hen's and ostrich's place? You can use "coop" to refer to a confined space where hens and other fowls are kept for laying eggs. You can also use "pen". )

In the story, hens were in a small building that is used for storing things such as garden tools. and ostriches were in the fence.

The family was raising the animals at the place next to their house.

Hi Victoria,

I hope this helps.
