It’s Okay to Make Mistakes by Todd Parr -ESSENTIAL

Park, Todd It’s Okay to Make Mistakes 32 pgs. Little Brown, 2014. $17.00 Content: Language: G (0 swears); Mature Content: G Violence: G. PICTURE BOOK.

This bright colorful book features an entire list of common mistakes that kids make, like spilling your milk, wearing two different socks, being clumsy. Then there is a positive way to look at each situation. One great example is that its ok to get dirty because a bubble bath is fun.

I LOVE this book! It eye catching and the large pages are filled to the brim with color and simple shapes. I do think kids need to be specifically taught how-to have a great attitude, and have help to practice it, like a good example. Come to that, maybe more parents should read this book.
