I requested this book because of the description. I am one of those perfectionists. As a child I was one that wanted to do it just right or didn't want to do it at all. I could have used this book. Penelope tries her hardest to be perfect all the time, but one day she oversleeps. That "imperfect day" made her see that she could still have a good day even if it wasn't perfect. This book gets four of five stars. I really enjoyed it and thought it was a great story for kids to read, especially those who are the perfectionist type.
