Beautiful Oops! -- Barney Saltzberg

<b>A spill. A smear. A smudge. A tear. When you <i>think</i> you have made a mistake, think of it as an opportunity to make something beautiful </b> <p/> A life lesson that all parents want their children to learn: It's OK to make a mistake. In fact, hooray for mistakes A mistake is an adventure in creativity, a portal of discovery. A spill doesn't ruin a drawing--not when it becomes the shape of a goofy animal. And an accidental tear in your paper? Don't be upset about it when you can turn it into the roaring mouth of an alligator. <p/> An award winning, best-selling, one-of-a-kind interactive book, <i>Beautiful Oops </i> shows young readers how every mistake is an opportunity to make something beautiful. A singular work of imagination, creativity, and paper engineering, <i>Beautiful Oops </i> is filled with pop-ups, lift-the-flaps, tears, holes, overlays, bends, smudges, and even an accordion "telescope"--each demonstrating the magical transformation from blunder to wonder. <p/> <p/> <p/> <br><br><br><b>Author:</b> Barney Saltzberg<br><b>Publisher:</b> Workman Publishing<br><b>Published:</b> 09/23/2010<br><b>Pages:</b> 28<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Hardcover<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.94lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 7.00h x 6.90w x 1.20d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9780761157281<br><b>Audience:</b> Ages 4-8<br><b>Award:</b> NAPPA Gold Awards - Winner<br><br><b>Review Citation(s): </b><br><i>Publishers Weekly</i> 08/23/2010<br><i>Kirkus Reviews</i> 12/01/2010
