review 1: Pett, M. (2011). The Girl Who Never Made Mistakes. Sourcebooks Jabberwocky. Starred review Kirkus Reviews 2011Choice This is a book about a girl named Beatrice Bottomwell, who has never experienced blunders. She is known for perfection until one day the unimaginable happens she makes a mistake. The readers find out how she handles her new predicament. The Girl Who Never Made Mistakes is a terrific book story that teaches children that no one is perfect and that is okay. This would be a great book to read with students who face many struggles academically.
review 2: This book is a children's genre. It is a picture book. In this book, there is a girl named Beatrice who never makes mistakes. She wakes up in the morning, puts on the same socks, makes her brothe
... morer a perfect sandwich, and greets all her fans outside. The book goes on about how she never makes mistakes doing different activities. One incident occurred where she ALMOST made a mistake and dropped the eggs but she caught them. Later that night she was scared she would make a mistake at the talent show and everyone would laugh at her, and she did end up making a mistake but later she realized that it is okay to make mistakes. The purpose for this book to be in an elementary school classroom is to teach children a lesson that it is okay for someone to make mistakes. Some students think that have to be perfect, either be as a person or school work, and this book can help students realize that not everyone has to be perfect, you are your own person. I chose to read this book because as a child I always thought I had to be perfect but that's not the case. Also I was drawn to the illustrations in the book. less
