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!

I’ve always been a very good egg.

I bet you’re wondering, How good can one egg really be?

Well . . .

I’ll water your plants.

I’ll change your tires.

I’ll even paint your house.

If you need any help whatsoever, I’m your egg.

Yep. I’m a verrrrrry good egg indeed.

But what if being too good goes wrong?

“Oswald’s textured watercolor and digital illustrations show a guileless, bright-eyed, glasses-wearing, oval-shaped character with a brown speckled shell and spindly little limbs—an egghead personified, and one for whom readers will cheer.”
