It's a book that teach children that it is okay to make a mistake. Demonstrates the many ways that torn, crinkled, and smudged bits of paper can be transformed into various shapes and images.

Nifty pop-up book on texture and thinking artistically.

Wonderful interactive book to teach children that mistakes happen and we can make beautiful things out of them.
The illustrations are gorgeous, and the pop-ups and mechanisms are attractive for the kids.
It became an immediate favorite in our house!

I am going to mark some of the books I have read and enjoyed with my kids with undated reviews.
Beautiful oops is a good book to show that trying will result in mistakes. The mistakes are essential to learning how to do things. I do think that some of the point is lost when the accidents become something else beautiful. Some mistakes will be ugly and that is okay.
But the point is trying to find beauty in the mistake is not a bad one, it just isn't possible in every case.
