The Good Egg

The Good Egg is a charming, humorous story about the pressure to be perfect. Meet the Good Egg-he's always trying to do the right thing. But when the rest of his carton-mates are mischievous and rotten, the pressure starts to get to him. Eventually, he learns the importance of balance, self-care, and accepting others-even when they're not perfect.
