Bookroo's summary
Meet the good egg, who strives for perfection while surrounded by misbehaving peers. As the pressure mounts, he begins to crack, realizing he can't maintain this facade. It's time for change. Will he learn to embrace imperfection and find balance? This charming tale explores self-care and acceptance, reminding us that even those we love can be a bit rotten.
From the publisher
From the bestselling creators of The Bad Seed, a timely story about not having to be Grade A perfect! Meet the good egg. He’s a verrrrrry good egg indeed. But trying to be so good is hard when everyone else is plain ol’ rotten. As the other eggs in the dozen behave badly, the good egg starts to crack from all the pressure of feeling like he has to be perfect. So, he decides enough is enough! It’s time for him to make a change… Dynamic duo Jory John and Pete Oswald hatch a funny and charming story that reminds us of the importance of balance, self-care, and accepting those who we love (even if they are sometimes a bit rotten). Perfect for reading aloud and shared story time!
