Transform "mistakes" into delights!
I had been in the book store for an hour. Upon leaving, the book's yellow cover with simple graphics and interesting title caught my attention.

I reached for the book and began turning the pages. It put a smile on my face by page 2.
There's a torn on page 1 - half page down, from the right edge to the center. I thought, "did someone tear the page accidentally when they read this book?", but when I turned the page, that tear became the big, cheerful smile of an adorable crocodile, and that smile climbed up my face.
Each page in the book features a "mistake" - a crease, a crumble, a cut or a stain, but each turns into a heart-warming delight.
Little "mistakes" in life can transform into something colorful and beautiful, through exploration, discovery and courage.
This book is a wonderful read for children, yet inspiring for all. -

"Everyone who has ever said the word 'oops' will be smiling when they see the masterpiece that Barney Saltzberg has created . . . funny and fun, Beautiful OOPS! is the best fit to give anyone, any age, anywhere, anytime." ~Jamie Lee Curtis
Overall thoughts:
This is a delightful concept book for all ages, even though it is suggested for ages 3 and up. With bright vivid colors throughout children of all ages will love turning each page to find something fun or a little different to get their creative muse turning. If you have someone who loves art . . . this would be a fun book to give as a gift.
Author and illustrator, Barney Saltzberg is also the creative force behind the bestselling Peekaboo Kisses and last year's Good Egg. A singular work of imagination, creativity and paper engineering fills this book with pop-ups, lift-the-flaps, tears, holes, overlays, bends, smudges and even an incredible accordion "telescope".
Children will delight in knowing they can create anything from torn paper like an alligator. Or see a spill become an elephant . . . a pack of puppies . . . or even a family of birds. Besides each page having a creative twist to an everyday "Oops", you also get a surprise trying to find how each page reveals the hidden creativity of the "Oops". Making this book extra special and a unique concept book. -
