The Good Egg ()
Author(s): Jory John
A #1 New York Times bestseller!
An Amazon Best Books of the Year 2019 selection!
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 we love (even if they are sometimes a bit rotten).
Perfect for reading aloud and shared story time!

“Eggs-quisitely excellent.”
“ [An] earnest counterpart to John and Oswald’s hilarious The Bad Seed (2017)”
“Both text and art complement each other perfectly.”
“John embeds a seed of a great idea—finding a balance between personal and social responsibility—within a rip-roaring, touching narrative.”
“Oswald’s digitally composed, bright artwork pops with rib-tickling close-ups and character-building moments.”
“[A]nother thought-and laughter-provoking morality tale...”
“The art, using watercolor textures and digital paint, is filled with comic detail...”
“An enormously entertaining lesson about the perils of perfectionism.”
“...an organic and locally sourced tale of the importance of self-care.”
“The illustrations are an egg-cellent source of amusement...”
