Perfect Prudence

by Peter Harris, Deborah Allwright (Illustrator)

Every child knows a “perfect Prudence,” someone perfect in every way. In this delightful picture book, readers will discover that Prudence isn’t quite as perfect as everyone thinks. Even though she’s a one-girl show in the school play--singing, dancing, working the lights, and playing both ends of a cow--she forgets the one thing that will let her show her perfection to the world. Told in a hilarious, exaggerated style with lively illustrations, this picture book will delight young children who know someone perfect, as well as their parents who remember those perfect kids from their school days!

About Prudence who is perfect. Well almost. I don't see the point in this book. While it does show in a round about way that no one is really perfect, it's not strong enough to make it worth the time to read.

Cute concept but the text and pictures didn't hold my daugters interest.

Even if it seems like someone is perfect, they can still make mistakes.

Henry liked the beginning, but had trouble understanding the end.
