review 1: My 2-year-old daughter and I have read this book approximately 1 million times in the past year. At first she simply enjoyed the interactivity of opening flaps and looking through holes, but as she has grown older she comments on the way that Saltzberg uses illustrations to change the "oopses" into something new. My daughter is an artistic kid and also a budding perfectionist - a trying combination for someone still developing fine motor skills, so we talk a lot about the beautiful oopses she makes and how she can turn them into something new. She also like to find oopses in other places and create something from them.One recommendation - even though this book is completely appropriate for children, some of the interactive pages can get torn - so supervision is probably... more a good idea until they are old enough to explore it carefully on their own.
review 2: This is a book about how art "mistakes" are not mistakes at all, but rather can be changed into beautiful creations. The interactive and multi-element pages add a special level of interest and model how accidents can become something really wonderful. This book is appropriate for children of many levels to show that it is okay to make a mistake. In addition, the interactive elements allow for children with lower language skills to participate in a meaningful way.Theme: Art, schoolTopic: Art- fostering creativity and understanding that art does not have a wrong or a right, problem solving. less
