Summary: This story follows a bad seed and how he became a bad seed. In the end, he turns himself around and becomes a kind of good seed. He is happy with who he is at the end of the story.
Reflection: This story is a cute one in the way that they show the story of how the bad seed became who he was and why he was so bad. It shows that everyone has a back story of why they are who they are. It is a cute way how kids can understand backgrounds and how kids can understand change. I think the message was really open for the children to understand. (

This book is about a seed. He is bad, but he wasn't always bad. He was good until his home got destroyed and his life changed. He wanted to be happy again so he started doing things that bad seeds wouldn't do.

A seed who is not as bad as he seems.

nicolecoronel | Nov 16, 2021 |

Cute, but like its sibling The Good Egg, not profound and a bit too long. The story of an antisocial troublemaker who finds acceptance and eventual joy in doing good. (
