Who says that nobody's perfect? Certainly not Dr. K Pinkerton Silverfish, the clown-nosed, messy-hotdog-eating author of the book "Be a Perfect Person In Just Three Days!" that mysteriously falls on our hero's head!

Meet Milo. He's your average kid, flawed like the rest of us, and just trying to find a good book on scary monsters at the library when "Be a Perfect Person...!!" flies from the shelf and beans him a good one. The author, Dr. S, is a very strange looking character in his author photo, dressed in a half-tie and Hawaiian shirt with that messy hotdog, but something about his eyes and what may be a smirk on his lips makes Milo want to check the book out. After all, who WOULDN'T want to be perfect?

He takes it home to read and immediately finds out that the road to being perfect is paved with strange tasks. Wearing a stalk of broccoli around your neck for one day and night, and not eating anything, for example. It's enough to make people wonder if you've lost your marbles. Still, if broccoli-wearing brings Milo perfection (kinda' like fasting brings inner awareness), then so be it! Bring on the green stuff!

B.A.P.P.I.J.T.D. is a quick, fast-paced read that will entertain and draw in even the most reluctant readers. It's short, weighing in at under 100 pages, so the length won't intimidate beginning readers. It is funny, ridiculous and clips along at a pace where you can't help but keep reading to find out what could possibly happen next. The language is easy to read but not condescending to young audiences. I teach reading to a group of normally reluctant, low-level readers, and within the first page everyone was hooked! Many of my students even asked if they could read THE WHOLE THING by the next day's class. Lo and behold, most of them *DID*!! This was not my doing; this was the ease and engagement of the book itself. Don't just take MY word for it, take it from the students who normally hate reading: this is a fine, fun book!

Be a Perfect Person in Just Three Days was a really funny book. It taught me that nobody's perfect, even the popular girls that are in my class. It was easy to read, and I'm pretty sure that even grown-ups would love it. This book definetly gets an A plus!

o my gosh! This was without a doubt one of my favorite books as a child....I literally borrowed it from the library every time we went!! Milo, the main character, borrows the hilarious self-help book from the library ( be a perfect person in JUST 3 DAYS!", he gets more than he bargained for! His book is equally funny and amazing, as the chapters appear to be written according to what he is thinking as he reads along on the road to being perfect....This is definitly one of the better books out there, a quick and entertaining read, that your child (or even you) will want to read again and again and again..... :) May I just reiterate that this is a wonderful book??! ok thankx :) Have a great day!

I enjoyed this book because it deals with the problem of feeling like a failure or being unpopular. At our school, we use this book for the whole classroom. It's fun, easy to read, and deals with problems that most middle school students face.

The 20 children in my second grade class loved this book, and begged (NOT AN EXAGERATION) me to keep reading it until it was through. We talked about being perfect, laughed at the antics in the story, and none of us wanted to stop. As a matter of fact, when the book was finished, the class immediately wanted me to start reading Manes' book How to Make a Million...The only thing that stopped me was that I don't own that book.

That will be rectified the moment I'm done posting this review!

This book is pure entertainment for the whole family. It's one laugh after another. You are led by the hand, with the author seeming to read your thoughts. It pulls you in for "just one more chapter". You wonder: Will Milo really become the first ever perfect person? It makes you ask yourself, "what does it mean to be perfect?" "who is someone to take advice from?" "would it make me perfect if someone said I was?" This is a very easy book to read. Allow 1/2 hour to 45 minutes. It will leave you laughing, and leave you thinking.

Wanna be Perfect read this book
This is a very good book liked this book because it is very interesting and funny you just cant wait to see what is gonig to happen next .I wooed receded this to any on who likes a good funny book or just to any one who just likes a good book He finds this book at the library he was looking for a scary book but this fell on his head in stead so he opened this book and started to read he took it home and that's how he got stuck with it.My favorite part was when he had to wear broccoli and he tells his parents that it was for a play at his school .
And one of the outer tasks he had to do was stay in his room and do nothing but go to the bathroom and drink weak tea .and this is a relay good book .

I loved it! I found it very, very funny! Milo, the main character, went to the public library to look for a scary story. Then a book hit his head, It was called Be A Perfect Person. The genius, Dr.K Pinkerton Silverfish, is funny too! He is from a nonsense campus called Ripple of Skidrow College. Then he went to get the broccoli, but that was for the Crinkley family dinner. But instead, they had rutabaga. Then Milo didn't eat anything, he was in big trouble! Then Dr.Silverfish told him to do nothing except sip weak tea and go to the bathroom. He thought about baseball, If a ball came back to him, he would have to strike out or hit it with a baseball bat and disobey Dr.Silverfish, and so he had to skip baseball this week. Milo got sleepy and failed perfection. Milo is nice to his family, but not Dr.Silverfish. It's kind of boring to be something that is hard for you.
