The Bad Seed by Jory John and illustrated by Pete Oswald is a picture book that all readers can enjoy. It takes us on a journey through the eyes of a sunflower seed who identifies himself as a baaaad seed.
(Yes, you must read it aloud with a lot of expression.) We all get a little giggle out of mischievous characters who do those naughty things we wish we could do, but we don't want to label ourselves. Does the seed continue to be the bad seed? Will he ever be a good seed?
The Good Egg by Jory John and illustrated by Pete Oswald is a fabulous follow up to
The Bad Seed.
Readers get to see the viewpoint of the good egg. He has always been the good egg. He tries to get all his other egg friends to be good eggs. When his friends can't be good he starts cracking up. The egg decides do a little self-care. At this time of year, teachers can be a little weary of trying to be the "good egg". We need to remember that we need to take care of ourselves.
