A spill. A smear. A smudge. A tear. When youthinkyou have made a mistake, think of it as an opportunity to make somethingbeautiful!

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. Beautiful Oops!
