Nayu's thoughts
I
love eggs as an object and a shape, as they can be pretty in books & frequently appear in
the anime I watch. I love to eat eggs but Gecko's would be safe from me as I'm a
chicken or duck egg fan. I love how devoted Gecko is to her
gorgeously coloured eggs, how she takes care of her cave while
nurturing them. She is quick thinking and extremely intelligent,
using confidence and science to keep her unborn babies safe.
I hate
snakes but the one she faces looks fairly cute, unlike its wicked
intentions. I thought Gecko and her eggs were doomed when a creature
dares to enter her home, but she uses her surroundings in an
intelligent defence mechanism. She ia an adorable creature and I'd
love her to have another story! Readers will learn about the different types of animals, predators and the other kind who like Gecko have special skills to keep themselves and their families safe. This could lead to discussion on predators, and what type of skills readers would like to have.
Suggested read
I instantly thought of this book once I'd read Gecko's Echo so go check it out! Something Delicious by Jill Lewis & Ali Pye (Children's, Picture book, 10/10E)
