A concept picture book for adults that pokes fun at what women want from a man.
My Take
This is it. This is the book for women to read (& pee themselves laughing) while they make a list — and check it twice — to see what they want, ahem, in a man. For you men, ahem *laughing*, you may want to read it, if only to discover what a woman wants to find, however little we truly desire it.
“For most women, it’s a quest that begins practically the moment she’s born … in the hospital nursery — smil[ing] sweetly at the boy in the next crib. He returns a long, meaningful glance. Then, like most men, he burps, wets himself, and screams for someone to bring him his food.”
Yep, we want to control him, know how to use a broom, be useful on good and bad days, easy to turn on, available for whatever a girl needs.
It’s a very short read; I think I read it in about 15 minutes. Hey, so I lingered. Most of the book is similar to the cover with a great graphic that’ll crack you up and a fun reference as to how that makes him The Perfect Man. In between are a few pages of crack-me-up quotes.

The Cover and Title
The cover is a warm beige rough-weave tablecloth with a matching plate. On top of that plate is a warm coral napkin on which a very perplexed gingerbread man lies, arms outspread, legs wide as if the poor man has fallen flat…I can’t imagine why…
The title is perfect, perfectly representative of what you’ll read inside about The Perfect Man, for this one can be “…quiet. …sweet. And if he gives you any grief, you can bite his head off.”
