For Pedro, everything must be perfect, but he's not yet found the perfect friend. One day he meetsPoppy, who seems perfect too-until Pedro goes round to her house for tea and, to Pedro's horror, she dips her chips in mustard and burps the entire alphabet! Still, Pedro and Poppy prepare a hula-hoop routine for the talent show, but Pedro decides that Poppy just isn't taking it seriously enough, so he goes at it alone. As Pedro is about to find out, aiming for perfection may not be a perfect approach to life. Sometimes doing something imperfectly with a friend can be a lot more fun!From the award-winning Simon Philip comes a hilarious new picture book about perfectionism, friendship, and hula-hooping!
