AlbakiReads Editorial

A good egg learns that perfection has its limits

The good egg takes his role in the dozen seriously, but the pressure to stay perfectly well-behaved grows as the other eggs act out. When he decides to make a change, the story opens a conversation about balancing care for others with care for oneself. Its central tension is simple and child-friendly: how to respond when loved ones do not behave as we hope, without making perfection the price of belonging. The Easter and springtime framing comes through in the title; the supplied description centers on the egg’s struggles with pressure, balance, and acceptance.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8, the age range listed in the metadata
  • Families seeking a humorous picture book about perfectionism and self-care
  • Adults looking for a read-aloud that introduces acceptance of others’ imperfect behavior

Book overview

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!
