There is always a good egg in the bunch. The one that helps everyone and is willing to be there to lend a helping hand. But sometimes, being a good egg can scramble you up.
In the Good egg, John illustrates how children may feel overwhelmed by trying to be good. They may feel anxiety ver helping others continually and not taking time for themselves. It is important to lend a helping hand, be a good person and take care of others. Yet, children need to understand the concept of self-care so they do not burn themselves out. This picture book does this perfectly by having kids follow the good egg. The illustrations are adorable and creative while still being relatable. Although, after reading this book they may not want to eat any eggs...... or maybe just the bad ones.

Moral of the story had good intentions. I found some parts to be more annoying than anything else though.

Stevie gives this 5 stars. She says it was crazy. I give it 2 stars and say it was an adult's joke that got made into a picture book and was just rambling and inane.

I can relate to this book! I love the lessons adults/kids learn from this book. You don't need to be perfect or try to please everyone. You need to take care of others, but you also need to take care of yourself, too.

Okay this starts out fine. Good egg wants everything to be good but you can't control everybody so egg leaves to find peace within and grow and heal from mistreatment from a bad carton. But then goes back to the mistreatment? My 6 year old asked why the egg went back if no one else changed and everyone was still being mean, good question. You can't inner peace your way out of abuse. Now we just talk about this book as what not to do. Haven't read them all but the Bad Seed and the Smart Cookie are not as problematic.
