The Odd Egg Shop

You run a little shop full of monsters. Warm an egg in the incubator and see who hatches: a Moss Puff, a Teacup Dragon, a Jelly Bun, a Pebble Bat, a Cloud Lamb or a Star Snail. Each one moves into a pen of its own, with its name on the fence. When every pen is taken, buy another.

Look after them. They get hungry, they want to play, and their pens get messy (the dust bunnies are very sweet about it). Happy monsters glow, and bring a tip.

Customers come to the counter with wishes of their own. Grandpa Bear wants something calm for his armchair, and it has to be a happy one. Ella Owl reads all night and would love a Pebble Bat in lilac, wearing glasses. Regulars remember the monster they took home last time.

Put two monsters in the lab and the shop shows you what their egg could be, with the chances: which kind, which colour, which pattern. Colours mix like paint and patterns come from a parent, so finding the right pair is a small puzzle.

No two monsters look alike. Each has its own eyes, mouth and cheeks: round or sleepy, a fang or a tongue, freckles or little hearts, and now and then one big eye. A baby takes its face from its parents, a feature at a time, so it can have its mother's eyes and its father's grin.

Spend what you earn on bows, flowers, scarves, glasses and hats for your monsters, and on bunting, fairy lights and a fishbowl for the shop. Fill the monster book with every kind and colour.
