I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. It is a beautifully illustrated story about a good egg surrounded by bad eggs. He would engage in numerous acts of kindness for the others, but faced challenges. The bad eggs in the carton didn't uphold the same standards. This frustrated the Good Egg. The immense pressure to maintain perfection took its toll, leading to cracks in its shell. He finally had enough and seek solitude. On his journey, he learned about himself as well as others. Through these endeavors, its cracks began to mend, prompting the Good Egg to finally return to the carton with happiness and acceptance. ( )

This is a humorous story that shares the challenges and pressures of trying to be good all of the time. When Good Egg’s shell starts to crack, he knows he needs to leave the carton. He discovers new things along the way and takes care of himself for once. This allows him to heal and be ready to go back to the carton and accept all the other eggs as they are and not to put as much pressure on himself.

5/5

I love this book! What a great way to teach kids that they don't have to be perfect. It also touches on the subject of being bullied and that they don't have to put up with that either. It shows the importance of being yourself, taking care of yourself, and not letting other individual's bad choices negatively effect you. I also love the illustrations! ( )
