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 school day gone sideways — and maybe even make a real friend in the process?

A hilarious, heartfelt story about letting go of perfection and embracing the beautiful mess of real friendship.
