The Perfect Nest by Catherine Friend
2008-2009 2x2 list

Jack the cat builds a perfect nest to lure in a chicken that will hatch an egg. Jack wants to turn that egg into a delicious omelet. The nest ends up attracting a Spanish chicken (Caramba) a French speaking duck (Sacre bleu) and an all American goose (Great balls of fire). Each bird lays an egg which makes Jack happy but after making themselves comfortable the three birds refuse to leave the nest. Jack in desperation tricks the birds by lying to them by telling them there is a empty nest at a farm down the road. The birds excitedly leave the nest and move to the next. Jack is ready to eat the eggs when suddenly the eggs hatch. The babies confuse Jack for their mommies. Jack is taken by the cute babies and ends up snuggling with them and caring for them. Jack soon realizes that the nest he built is comfortable and decides to stay and care for the babies.
