My Review
Hector's Perfect Cake is a sweet (pun intended) children's book that teaches kids that sometimes being perfect isn't possible.
Hector is a cute little badger who wants to make the most perfect cake for his Granny's birthday. All he needs to finish it off is some peanut butter. But, alas, Hector is all out. A simple trip to the market to buy some more turns into a stressful mission that leaves Hector disappointed and upset that his cake won't be perfect anymore. But, as his Granny tells him, his not-so-perfect cake is truly perfect (and delicious) because it was made by him, with love, and it's the thought that counts, after all.
This story has a good lesson for both kids and adults. Sometimes being perfect isn't possible, and that's okay. And, let's face it, nothing and no one is perfect, so there is no need to be so hard on yourself. 
I thought this was a great read, and the illustrations were super adorable. I highly recommend it.
5 stars!
