Item description from seller
Hardcover. Petey Perfectpants is practically perfect in every possible way--except at making friends. From flawless spelling tests to spotless shoes, he never makes a mistake. But when Petey tries to create the "perfect" sock puppet pal, things go hilariously wrong. The prankloving, possibly enchanted sock puppet mysteriously attaches itself to Petey's hand, throwing his meticulously planned world into chaos. Between lunchtime lunacy, classroom chaos, and blunderfilled behavior, Petey's school day spirals into a frightfully funny adventure. Can Petey survive the sock puppet's silly schemes? Or will he discover that his pursuit of perfection might be the real problem? A hilariously hairraising friendship story about a bashful boy, a prankster sock puppet, and the perilous pursuit of perfection! Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.

★ "Our verdict: Get it." — Kirkus Reviews
The laugh-out-loud picture book about friendship and perfectionism that kids, parents, and teachers are calling a must-have.
Is your child frozen by perfectionism? Meet Petey Perfectpants. His spelling tests are flawless. His shoes? Spotless. Mistakes? Never. But the one thing Petey can't seem to get right... is making friends.
When Petey's perfectly designed sock puppet pal refuses to behave, things unravel fast. The prank-loving puppet permanently latches onto Petey's hand — turning his perfect school day into lunchroom lunacy and classroom calamity.
Can Petey survive a day of sock-fueled silliness? Or will he discover that letting go of perfect might be exactly what he needs to finally make a real friend?
★ Parents report kids giggling from start to finish — and begging to read it again
★ Educators call it a must-have for every classroom bookshelf
★ A comforting story for any child who feels pressure to always get it right
★ Silly in all the right ways — vibrant illustrations and a message that sticks
Vibrant, character-packed illustrations by Gary Wilkinson bring every page to life — readers say the artwork transports you to a magical world.
Perfect for perfectionist kids ages 4-8, classroom read-alouds, library storytimes, and arts-and-crafts programs. Kids love creating their own silly sock puppet pals after storytime — making this a uniquely interactive experience beyond the book itself.
A great gift for kids ages 4-8, grades K-3, and any child who needs a gentle reminder that it's okay to be perfectly imperfect.
