Book Description:

Publication Date: November 30, 2007

This is an illustrated collection of humorous poems about 26 children and their not-so-perfect personalities. Each kid has a funny tongue-twisting name that begins with a letter of the alphabet and reflects a personality trait. From Adam Amazola to Zippy Zelda Zimmerman, children will see themselves in the characters in this book and laugh at how friends and family hilariously cope with their behavior. An Audio CD comes with the book containing eleven poems performed by the author. Asitimbay s funny accents and sound effects will have both younger and older kids splitting their sides. Teachers can use this book of verse in the classroom to teach reading and writing skills to students of elementary age. Students are bound to get excited about writing their own poetry when they see playful black and white drawings of silly kids. Parents will relate to the children portrayed in No Perfect People, Please! The amusing and annoying personalities of the characters in the book resemble kids in everyday life, which will reassure many parents that their kids are normal.
