Percy’s Perfect Friend
by Lana Button (Goodreads Author), Peggy Collins (Illustrator)

5 of 5 stars

Percy is the new kid at school. He feels very lonely until he befriends a cat toy and names her Miss Petticomb. But the moment he turns his back, another child takes Miss Petticomb away. Percy searches around the room until he finds Miss Petticomb being forced to “eat” delicious plastic cake at a tea party. Percy tries to rescue Miss Petticomb, but the other children insist that the tea party is to celebrate the cat’s birthday. Percy gets up the courage to join the tea party and make some new friends.

This is such a sweet story about the power of imaginative play to help us make friends! I loved Percy’s character. We’ve all been in that “new kid” situation at some point, and it can be so difficult to initiate connections with new people. But a simple cat toy and a tea party can really bring people together!

I loved the pretty illustrations and the beautiful colors on each page!
