Beautiful Oops! by Barney Saltzberg

Beautiful Oops! is an interactive board book suitable for all ages, even adults. The paper-engineering is fun, fresh and diverse. There are pop-ups, bends, tears, lift-the flaps (upon flaps upon flaps), holes, overlays, splashes and splotches.

Author Barney Saltzberg's message is strong: “It’s OK to make a mistake.” Beautiful Oops! illustrates how many wonderful creations often start with an accident. A torn piece of paper becomes the mouth of an alligator. A bent page turns into a penguin’s beak. Drops of paint transform into a pig and the wheels of a car. Mistakes are not an end, but a beginning. The possibilities are endless if you use your imagination.

Like mistakes, Beautiful Oops! is worth exploring so have fun playing with this book and discovering all it has to offer. You’ll find it with the board books.
