This book is brilliant! We loved The Bad Seed and this is the companion book. We have read most of the Jory John books as an author study and this one did not disappoint. We had waited for it for days from the public library and when it arrived and I put it at the spot I display the story for the day, word spread quickly and story time couldn't have come quick enough.
My students quickly caught on to and related to the theme of finding a good balance between doing your very best and cutting yourself some slack. They were happy to let me know they've found a good balance between being neat and not missing any words.
Goodreads says:
In this follow-up to Jory John and Pete Oswald’s popular picture book The Bad Seed, meet the next best thing: a very good egg, indeed!
With Jory’s same hilarious voice and Pete’s edgy artwork from The Bad Seed, The Good Egg is the hilarious, sure-to-crack-you-up second book from this dynamic pair:
The good egg has been good for as long as he can remember. While the other eggs in his carton are kind of rotten, he always does the right, kind, and courteous thing. He is a verrrrrrry good egg indeed! Until one day he decides that enough is enough! He begins to crack (quite literally) from the pressure of alwayshaving to be grade-A perfect.
In this funny and charming story, the good egg learns that it’s not always necessary to be perfect, and sometimes okay not to always be a good egg.
