Description: A young boy reflects on the idea that nobody is perfect, including the other members of his family, but decides that, on the whole, with a little patience, they come close.
Table of contents: title: Hardback -Nobody's perfect. That's what everybody says. Like my sister. She's loud! Really loud! And that's only the beginning. Your best friend is a bit of a show-off. And Mum can be pretty stubborn. Not perfect! But sometimes they come pretty close; title: and you do too. With a touch of the tongue-in-cheek, David Elliott's winning, text combines with Sam Zuppardi's fresh, child-friendly illustrations to show that life may be more about patience than perfection, and that focusing on the positive reaps its own rewards.
