Book Overview

When Percy finds himself in a kindergarten classroom full
of unfamiliar children, he can't help but feel uncomfortable and alone--that is,
until he meets a cuddly new friend: a plush cat he names Miss Petticomb.

When Percy's new friend is picked up by other children,
Percy cautiously sets out to find her. On his journey to retrieve Miss Petticomb, Percy must decide whether it is better to share his friend with his
classmates or keep her all to himself. A plush cat, a tea party, and the
uniting power of toys may be the secret to saving Miss Petticomb and bringing
Percy out of his shell.

In Percy's Perfect Friend, early childhood educator Lana
Button celebrates the importance of toys in play, the power they have to help
children practice social skills, language skills, and imagination, and their
ability to bring children together. ALA Schneider Honor Book Winner Peggy
Collins captures Percy's growth from uncertainty to confidence on his quest to
save Miss Petticomb. He may just be surprised at the new friends he makes along
the way.
