My Book of Beautiful Oops!: A Scribble It, Smear It, Fold It, Tear It Journal fo

Every mistake is an opportunity to make something beautiful. This is the central idea of <i>Beautiful Oops </i>, Barney Saltzberg's beloved bestseller--and now <i>My Book of Beautiful Oops </i>, an interactive journal for young artists, takes that principle into unexpected new directions. <p/> A hands-on journal that's meant to be personalized--drawn in, painted on, torn up, smudged, or otherwise artistically wrecked--<i>My Book of Beautiful Oops </i> is filled with folded, crumpled, die-cut, and lift-the-flap pages that will challenge the reader's sense of play. The friendly green alligator from the first book prompts the reader: Bend a page. Decorate a smudge. Play with splats and spills. Even complete a poem that was accidentally ripped in half. <p/><i>My Beautiful Book of Oops </i>champions imagination, play, and the courage to express oneself. It's about self-forgiveness, about turning off that inner critic that clamors for perfection. And it's about freedom--the freedom to be creative and follow your curiosity wherever it goes. That's a lesson to celebrate. <p/><br><br><b>Author:</b> Barney Saltzberg<br><b>Publisher:</b> Workman Publishing<br><b>Published:</b> 05/30/2017<br><b>Pages:</b> 52<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Hardcover<br><b>Weight:</b> 1.25lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 6.80h x 6.90w x 1.10d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9780761189503<br><b>Age Range:</b> 3-14
