""A fantastically fun, vibrantly written picture book with a fab 'perfectly imperfect' message. Highly recommended!""-- The Wishing Shelf ""A laughoutloud storybook that reminds kids it's okay not to be perfect at everything all the time! Embrace the imperfections and have fun!"" -- Kameron Brook for Reedsy Discovery ""Following Vee's Professor Nincompoop (2024), this story is silly on the surface but carries a seriousm message: There is a time and place for perfection. Wilkinson's colorful art often varies its perspective and framing, with largerthanlife sound effects that reflect the sock puppet's unpredictable behavior. A tastefully funny but instructive picture book perfect for early elementary schoolers. Our verdict: Get it."" -- Kirkus Reviews

Author Information

Jimmy Vee grew up making puppets and learning to talk without moving his lips. When he's not writing funny picture books, he entertains people with magic and ventriloquism. Jimmy is the executive director of the Vent Haven International Ventriloquist ConVENTion and the author of How to Make Your Sock Talk: A Beginner's Guide to Ventriloquism. He lives in Orlando, Florida, with his wife, two kids, two dogs, over 100 ventriloquist dummies, and a drawer full of sock puppets. Gary Wilkinson is a children's illustrator, teacher and busy father, who spends his time bringing wonderful story ideas to life at his messy desk in Kagawa, Japan. In addition to illustrating a wide series of books for children, Gary also looks to bring a smile to others as a caricature and portrait artist.
