A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Bookstore: Tales For the Perfect Child by Florence Parry Heide

Well, nobody's perfect.
 
 
 
 
 
:-D) This collection of humorous, tongue-in-cheek short stories introduces us to such unforgettable characters as Ruby, whose mom asks her to watch her baby brother for her, and she watches as he wrecks everything in his path, Arthur, who dislikes the fancy outfit his mom insists that he wear, so he messes it up, Bertha, who wants to watch TV, but her mother would like her to go out and get some fresh air, so she hides her shoes, and Irving, who figures out a clever way to get out of going to a piano recital with his annoying cousin Irma. If you like monsters, you like funny books, and especially if you like funny books about monster kids, this is the book for you!
 
 Kids, don't try this at home! :-D
