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
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.

Story
One tiny snail longs to see the world and hitches a lift on the tail of a whale. Together they go on an amazing journey, past icebergs and volcanoes, sharks and penguins, and the little snail feels so small in the vastness of the world. But when disaster strikes and the whale is beached in a bay, it's the tiny snail who saves the day.

The best
My girls (age 5 and 7) absolutely love this book. I do too. We have listened to it multiple times. They wanted to see the pictures, so we found a YouTube video, and they did NOT like the readers voice. We returned to this, narrated by Kirby Heyborne. As soon as they heard his voice, they both replied, “ahhhhhhh” (in his voice) and mentioned how much they missed him.
We love all the books in this series!!

great one for the little ones in your life
Fun children's book about a Couch Potato. Illustrations are charming. Text is simple. Message is accepting and encouraging - how a couch potato might, just might, feel like getting off the comfy cozy couch to... go for a walk outside. WOT. But let's not overdo it, only sometimes. Because the couch is comfy and cozy and that's a nice place to be too.
Great book for the 3-8yo in your life.
