This book is an excellent way to teach young children about sequencing (telling events in order), morals, self-awareness, and self-care. You learn that it's important to not stress yourself our of you will find yourself cracked from the pressure.

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.

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! ( )

Book description
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 always having to be grade-A perfect.
