# Beautiful Oops! - Hardcover

by **Barney Saltzberg** (Author)

**A spill. A smear. A smudge. A tear. When you _think_ you have made a mistake, think of it as an opportunity to make something beautiful!**

A life lesson that all parents want their children to embrace: It's okay to make a mistake. In fact, hooray for mistakes! A mistake is an adventure in creativity, a portal to 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.

An award-winning, best-selling, one-of-a-kind interactive book (now with 650,000 copies sold!), _Beautiful Oops!_ shows young readers how every mistake is an opportunity to make something beautiful. A singular work of imagination, creativity, and paper engineering, _Beautiful Oops!_ 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. A paint smudge becomes the face of a bunny, a crumpled ball of paper turns into a lamb's fleecy coat--celebrate the oops in life.
