Beautiful Oops

Resembling an art journal, Beautiful Oops is part pop-up book, part lift-the-flap and a total tactile delight for kids. The book shows how mistakes like spills, drips, tears, and stains can be opportunities for great creations. A spill becomes an elephant, a smudge a fish, and a torn piece of paper the mouth of an alligator.

The words and message of this book are simple, while the creative oops art takes center stage. Not preachy at all, the book conveys the message that mistakes are ok in a creative and effective way. The kids pull this one out and look at it again, and again, and again.
