A seagull and a crab find friendship and compromise in this sweet and humorous story about the meaning of perfection. A seagull and a crab find friendship and compromise in this sweet and humorous story about the meaning of perfection. The sky is blue, the sun is warm, the breeze is cool--it's a perfect day for Seagull, perched on a rock in the sea. That is, until crabby Crab comes along and points out all of the day's flaws! There's a cloud in the sky, a smelly boat in the distance, and the rock that they're sitting on is covered in barnacles. In this sweet and funny story about finding happiness amidst flaws, Seagull and Crab learn that nothing is more perfect than spending time with friends. Praise for A Perfect Day- "This stand-out is the rare picture-story book that develops distinct characters, creates dramatic tension, and then resolves the story beautifully, all in less than 100 words. Bravo!" --The Providence Journal "A sweet, simple friendship story buoyed by sophisticated art." --Kirkus Reviews "A timeless tale of embracing friendship among differing points of view. Great for storytime or one-on-one sharing, this humorous title will appeal to both young audiences and adults." --SLJ "A simple story perfect for very young listeners." --Booklist
