The Good Egg: An Easter And Springtime Book For Kids (The Food Group)

Product Information

It used to drive me bonkers when other kids wouldn't do what they were supposed to do or if they didn't do it the way I thought it should've been done. Changing our behavior and taking care of ourselves is great, but continuing to be bullied and used by bad people for their own entertainment is not, especially if THAT is the reason you have to take extra care of yourself. I wish I had read this when I was a kid because I was high strung as heck and could have used the message that it's okay not to be perfect all the time. This witty adventure is full of great messages about the importance of balance, self-care, and acceptance of self and others.

I guess my take on it is a lot different from a lot of the other readers who feel the message is about not worrying about others' bad behaviors and not trying to "fix" everyone around you. This story is a fun story for your students to act out with movements, especially on winter days when you are inside due to weather! That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis.

That type of “self care” doesn’t work in real life, so why teach it to children, furthering the selfish “world-revolves-around-me” mentality of youth today.
