Wanted: Perfect Parents

I purchased Wanted: Perfect Parents by John Himmelman from a garage sale for 10 cents. It has quickly become one of Luke's favorite books. We have read it so many times. Gregory's parents see a sign on his bedroom door that reads Wanted: Perfect Parents. They ask Gregory what the sign is about and he tells them he is looking for perfect parents. He then describes to his parents what "perfect parents" would let him do. The perfect parents would never make him clean his room, would let him have every kind of ice cream at once, would let him flood the bathroom with water and swim with sharks, would buy him a pet elephant, and more. The illustrations are so much fun. Of course the book ends well with Gregory understanding the parents he has are perfect for him.

In the book the "perfect parents" let Gregory do whatever he can imagine. I think that is why Luke enjoys the book. Luke has already told me he wants to do some of the things Gregory imagines. I enjoy the book as well and especially love reading it with Luke!
