She may be best remembered for her now-classic The Shrinking of Treehorn and its two sequels, illustrated by the great Edward Gorey.
As the eight deliciously wicked Tales featured in this hilarious chapter book prove, it\'s perfectly nice to be a Perfect child--but where\'s the fun in that?About the Author: Florence Parry Heide (1919-2011) was the author of more than 100 children\'s books, including picture books, juvenile novels, two series of young adult mysteries, plays, songbooks, and poetry.
And just like all Perfect children, Gloria helps her mother (well, that might be an exaggeration).
Harry eats his carrots (though it depends on what you mean by "eat").
Arthur is careful (sorta).
Ruby is reliable (kinda).
This delightful new edition includes one never-before-published story.
