The Good Egg

Loved the (intended?) messages, but the delivery or maybe the details made me cringe. I think this is one of those “I read it wrong” or “know your kid when you read it to them”. Messages about self-care, you don't have to be perfect, and take care of yourself don't worry about others are great, however I really disliked after all those great themes seeing the main character then join in on sledding down the stairs. I felt that the book then shifted the message into “if you can't beat them join them” territory which isn't wrong, but you want only applied in harmless situations.
