The Good Egg by Jory John is about an egg that embarks on a self-care and reflection journey. The good egg is about finding healthy coping mechanisms and ways to feel good about yourself. This is a great great book that I hope to have readily available to my students when they need a reminder of how to cope or feel good.

This book is about a little egg who is all good but suddenly starts to crack all around from all the pressure that is put on him. He then makes the decision to leave behind the carton of other eggs to go on his own journey. He discovers along the way that he is at peace and is finally able to have some freedom and alone time.

The Good Egg by Jory John! This MF, PR New York Times Best Selling book is a wonderful story that teaches it's readers the importance of self-care. Our main character, the Good Egg, goes on a journey of self discovery. Each page, he learns something new about what he can and cannot handle. In the end, our Good Egg learns what he needs in life to be successful, leaving all his stress behind. I chose this book as a Partner Read because it pairs well

The Good Egg by Jory John, illustrated by Pete Oswald is a New York Times Best Seller MF. This book tells a story of a very good egg who‘s always willing to lend a helping hand and stop any quarrels among the other eggs. The good egg is so busy trying to be good that he forgets to care for himself and begins to crack, the story carries on as he learns new ways to find balance between caring for himself while still being a good egg. #ucflae3414su20

Not what I was expecting at all. The Good Egg spends so much time being a good egg, his brain starts to scramble and his shell starts to crack. So he takes some time out, lots of self-care and eventually finds his way back to his less-than-perfect friends and stops trying to change them.

I think geared towards older children.

The Good Egg is an amazing F story written by Jory John. I cried the first time I read this book because I saw myself as the egg. I then proceeded to tell all my friends about the Egg who loves being good and helping others, but after helping so much he cracked. He had to take some time to let himself heal and realized that he didn‘t have to take care of everyone, much like I had to learn. #UCFLAE3414SP20

This F picture book is a great RA for students. It‘s about a good egg who begins to crack due to an overwhelming feeling he has trying to make the people around him good like him. He learns that he doesn‘t need to worry so much and to focus on himself. The UDL principle (9.1), promote expectations and beliefs that optimize motivation.

My last few #ImpulseRead picture books for now. I really liked The Good Egg, and the others were alright. #wintergames #merryreaders

Hummmmm. I see why this book shows up on so many best of lists. It uses an egg and cracking as a way to illustrate feeling under pressure because you are trying to be good in a world of people not trying as hard. How do you deal. You take time for yourself and learn what you need to do to keep your shell intact in a crazy world.

Enjoyed this adorable picture book while at work today ❤️

This book is about me! It‘s so cute and with a great message for those of us who are perfectionists and get stressed out by trying to take care of the whole world. 😍😍

“This time, I know what I need to do. I‘ll try not to worry so much. I‘ll be good to my fellow eggs while also being good to myself.”

I relate to this egg on a spiritual level. I wish he had been less accommodating upon his return to his “friends”, but I still loved this book.

this little egg is very good. but trying to be so good is hard when everyone else is plain old rooted. the other eggs in his dozen behave badly. and the good egg starts to crack

Some fun #bookmail arrived today! 💌 Sucky weather in Nashville means a good evening to stay in and read. Okay, let‘s be honest, that‘s every Friday.

Phenomenal picture book about the importance of self care and accepting others as they are. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

And here they are taking some time to explore the store on their own (as I went around reserving books from my library 😂)

G‘s kindergarten class went on a field trip this afternoon to our local bookstore. The kids are turning their classroom into a bookshop next week, with books they created themselves, and parents will be given fake money to buy their child‘s books. So today was all about learning the ins and outs of running a book store. And at the end they got to vote for a book to be donated to their class library! The tagged book won.
