What do our readers think of Mr. Perfect? (Generated from the text of reviews of the book)
Children often enjoy the colourful characters, funny party mishaps and Mr Perfect’s calm, kind nature. Some children find the story less exciting than other Mr Men books because Mr Perfect seems too much like a goody-goody.

Mr. Perfect brings Roger Hargreaves’s trademark bold pictures, brisk storytelling and larger-than-life character humour to a birthday party that is, naturally, planned to perfection. A gentle reminder that kindness matters more than spotless houses or flawless behaviour.
