The Book of Mistakes

56 pp. | Dial | April, 2017 | Trade ISBN 978-0-7352-2792-7 $18.99
(3) K-3 "It started / with one mistake": a drawing of a girl's head has mismatched eyes. "But the glasses--they were a good idea": the eyes are now masked by glasses. The pattern of mistakes followed by cover-ups continues, becoming a study in how wrong turns can be righted. The ink, colored pencil, and watercolor illustrations, featuring fine lines and amorphous black blobs, are captivating.
