Be a Perfect Person in Just Three Days!

"This book catches the reader with its very first sentence . . . crackling with humor . . . nearly perfect." --Gannett Westchester Newspapers "The only difficulty with this book is that everyone will want to be the first one to introduce it to children. . . A real gem." --State Library of Ohio Checklist "The moral is encased in laughs, with Manes's style reminiscent of Daniel Pinkwater's and topped by a dash of Kurt Vonnegut. Not perfect but awfully funny." --Booklist "What happens . . . changes chuckles to belly laughs!" --Publishers Weekly "This clever, funny book doesn't waste time being subtle; its mixture of slapstick/wryness will have kids laughing out loud." --Marriage and Family Living "Milo's home-study course in perfection makes a hilarious, zany story which readers will find hard to put down." --Wings ". . . hysterically funny, and not without relevance for grown-ups seemingly addicted to self-development." --New Age "Manes' novel satirizes the countless best sellers that promise smaller waists, slimmer hips and enriched bank accounts." --School Library Journal ". . . amazing and hilarious." --The Times of Trenton "This is a laughing-aloud book. It is far from great literature but very close to the funny bone." --The Read-Aloud Handbook "This is an original, offbeat, skillfully conceived and executed book." --Philadelphia Inquirer "This book was so good it made me laugh out loud." --Detroit Free Press "One of the best children's stories of all time!" --Goodreads
