Tales for the Perfect Child by Florence Parry Heide
4.0
Each short story in this book tells the tale of a child who is more or less not-so-perfect. They indulge in habits, lie, and sneak off. And they have a good time doing it and exasperating their parents. This book is probably the most anti-didactic book I've read (unless it's being didactic in saying that not being perfect is much more fun and fulfilling?). Either way, this book gave me a wicked sort of pleasure while reading it.
