The Pinkish, Purplish, Bluish Egg is a children's book by Bill Peet that tells the story of a large, colorful egg found by a mother squirrel. Unsure of what kind of egg it is, various animals speculate about the creature inside. The mother squirrel decides to take care of the egg until it hatches, protecting it from the elements and predators. Eventually, the egg hatches to reveal a baby dragon. The dragon becomes friends with the woodland creatures, and as it grows, it helps them in return by performing tasks such as clearing the forest of boulders and scaring away hunters. The book conveys themes of kindness, nurturing, and the unexpected rewards of caring for others.
