Perfect

This is the story of an eraser who wants everything to be nice and neat and just so. Along comes pencil who messes with his “perfection.” I bought this book for my perfectionist artist daughter to show her that sometimes messy can be fun too. Another cute story along these same lines is A Perfectly Messed Up Story (https://www.amazon.com/Perfectly-Messed-Up-Story-Patrick-McDonnell/dp/0316222585)

This is a really great picture book- especially for children that struggle with perfectionism and/or fear of making mistakes. I love the message- to embrace your creative side. Max Amato’s illustrations are so cool and they make you feel like you are taking in an animated journey. Highly recommend!

Perfect is a great addition for read aloud! I plan to use it for writing workshop mini lessons on the importance of revision and editing while remembering the importance of creativity and imagination. It can help students think about perspective and diversity. Perfect for every classroom!

My 7-year-old insists on getting it because of its interesting subject and illustration style, not the text. So a good book with artistic appeal:)

Story not interesting--and clearly wanting to teach some moral. Not worth it. My way of thinking of conveying something is Beatrix Potter: Peter Rabbit and the other books.

Perfect for our little perfectionist! A delightful story told mainly in the pictures.

Thumbs up! My students enjoyed the book!

My 7 year old granddaughter was disappointed in this book. Several pages don't have any story on them. She loves to read and says this book is for babies.

Simple book, high on message
