Edward the egg loved his family's famous secret recipe for "yummy to the tummy" cheese biscuits! Since he can now cook, he takes a trip to the grocery store to purchase the ingredients. Edward is scared that someone at the grocery store will mistake him for an egg they can cook, so he decides to go there in the early morning when fewer shoppers will be there. Once he gets to the grocery store, he meets an old lady named Sally. He notices that Sally is having trouble reaching the biscuits, so he helps her reach them. Once he gets to the checkout lane, he sees that his friend Tom who usually checks him out isn't there. Luckily, Sally is there to help him, just like he helped her. Then, Edward almost falls off the checkout lane and cracks, but Sally was able to catch him. Edward journeys through the rest of the day displaying kindness and receiving some in response! But what will happen if his worst fear of cracking comes true?

Opinion: 

I really enjoyed reading this book! The first thing I liked was the illustrations, which were adorable and helped me visualize the scenes that were happening in the book. I also really liked how you as the reader got to color them in and add your own touch to the book! Another thing I liked was how in this book all of Edwards's actions came back to him, such as when he gave Tom orange juice and Tom warned him about the foxes that were on the path to his home. I loved the message about how even one kind action can set off a much larger chain of kindness! Lastly, I liked how the book showed that it is okay if something bad happens such as Edward cracking, the people around you will help you patch it up! I highly recommend this book to any readers looking for a heartwarming story about a hilarious egg!
