The Good Egg
by Jory John; illustrated by Pete Oswald
Starring: the only good egg in a carton full of rude, rowdy, misbehaving eggs.
What happens: Rescuing cats, helping the elderly, cleaning up after the other eggs’ outrageous pranks -- with so much to do, will the good egg crack under the pressure?
Kids might also like: The Bad Seed, a similarly silly yet heartfelt story about a very different character, created by the same author/illustrator duo.
