Disclose Notes: The stories presented in this volume were originally intended to serve as shortened versions of episodes of an animated series on the Christian Learning Network (CLN) that could be published in a promotional kids magazine. The show was to use creatures that hatched from strange-looking eggs (hence the name, Strange Eggs) to teach religious lessons. The project was cancelled by CLN before any animated episodes were aired and before any stories were published.
