<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>An interactive follow-up to the unique and inspiring Beautiful Oops! art activity book encourages young readers to turn every mistake into something beautiful. The friendly, frolicsome alligator from the original book guides readers through the various folded, crumpled, torn, die-cut, bent, smudged, and lift-the flap spreads, prompting them to see what beautiful art they can make out a material that many would consider trash: Finish the words on a torn piece of paper to make a poem. Turn this ink spill into a piece of art. Rip a picture out of the book, tear it into pieces, and use the scraps to create a new piece of art. The sky is the limit!<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Every mistake is an opportunity to make something beautiful. This is the central idea of <i>Beautiful Oops!</i>, Barney Saltzberg's beloved bestseller--and now <i>My Book of Beautiful Oops!</i>, an interactive journal for young artists, takes that principle into unexpected new directions. <p/> A hands-on journal that's meant to be personalized--drawn in, painted on, torn up, smudged, or otherwise artistically wrecked--<i>My Book of Beautiful Oops!</i> is filled with folded, crumpled, die-cut, and lift-the-flap pages that will challenge the reader's sense of play. The friendly green alligator from the first book prompts the reader: Bend a page. Decorate a smudge. Play with splats and spills. Even complete a poem that was accidentally ripped in half. <p/><i>My Beautiful Book of Oops! </i>champions imagination, play, and the courage to express oneself. It's about self-forgiveness, about turning off that inner critic that clamors for perfection. And it's about freedom--the freedom to be creative and follow your curiosity wherever it goes. That's a lesson to celebrate. <p/>
