It's 2021.... FEEL LIKE EGGS? by Jeff Goodman - REVIEW!

Hi there!
Welcome back to the 2021 edition of Satisfaction for Insatiable Readers.


For those that have been with us, it's been a long ride...and a good one too, if I do say so myself!  2020 might have sucked biscuits big time, but the reading was still good, if not great, and we're looking to the future for a bigger, brighter, better tomorrow, and that all starts today!  So, I wish you and yours a very happy new year, and let's kick things off with a bang as we focus in on our first review of the year starring a new title from Precocity Press!

Precocity Press


This a book that explores the sometimes overwhelming amount of feelings that surround us with acceptance, understanding, and the right perspective to see that there is room for more than one within a group, within a family, or within our self.  There is no right or wrong way to feel, there is just YOU....and YOU are quite perfectly perfect just the way you are.  Whether silly like our scrambled egg, sensitive like our poached friend, or effervescently pleasant like mister sunny side up, each of us experiences SO MANY feelings throughout a day, throughout a week, throughout our lives and none of them are less valid than any other.  The colorful illustrations combined with witty rhymes takes readers on a memorable journey that will not only leave them with a better understanding of all those emotions that can run wild, sneak in, or surprise us, but a fun new way to help explore and express those wide ranging feelings.  Oh and you might have a craving for eggs when you're finished too...just trust me on this one!
