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.
