Story
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.... Jory John hatches a funny and charming story that reminds us of the importance of balance, self-care, and accepting those who we love (even if they are sometimes a bit rotten).

Story
The witch and her cat fly happily over forests, rivers and mountains on their broomstick until a stormy wind blows away the witch's hat, bow and wand. Luckily, they are retrieved by a dog, a bird and a frog, who are all keen for a ride on the broom. It's a case of the more, the merrier, but the broomstick isn't used to such a heavy load and it's not long before...snap! It breaks in two! And with a greedy dragon looking for a snack, the witch's animal pals better think fast.

Publisher's Summary
The "too-cool-for-school" third book from the number one New York Times best-selling creator of The Bad Seed and The Good Egg, Jory John.
Everyone knows the cool beans. They’re sooooo cool.
And then there’s the uncool has-bean....
Always on the sidelines, one bean unsuccessfully tries everything he can to fit in with the crowd - until one day the cool beans show him how it’s done.
With equal measures of humor, wit, and charm, the number one New York Times best-selling Jory John crafts another incredible story, reminding us that it’s cooler to be kind.

a great book for the little ones in your life
Fun children's book about a Cool Bean. Illustrations are charming. Text is simple. Message is accepting and encouraging - how a cool bean might, just might, feel lonely and rejected and abandoned. But let's not overdo it, only sometimes. Because a really cool bean finds happiness in hanging out with all sorts of people, and also appreciates his cool bean friends, too.
Great book for the 3-8yo in your life.
