Zoom meets Beautiful Oops in this memorable picture book debut about the creative process, and the way in which "mistakes" can blossom into inspirationOne eye was bigger than the other. That was a mistake.
The weird frog-cat-cow thing? It made an excellent bush.
And the inky smudges... they look as if they were always meant to be leaves floating gently across the sky.
As one artist incorporates accidental splotches, spots, and misshapen things into her art, she transforms her piece in quirky and unexpected ways, taking readers on a journey through her process. Told in minimal, playful text, this story shows readers that even the biggest "mistakes" can be the source of the brightest ideas--and that, at the end of the day, we are all works in progress, too. Fans of Peter Reynolds's Ish and Patrick McDonnell's A Perfectly Messed-Up Story will love the funny, poignant, completely unique storytelling of The Book of Mistakes. And, like Oh, The Places You'll Go , it makes the perfect graduation gift, encouraging readers to have a positive outlook as they learn to face life's obstacles.

Do not buy it, unless you want to replace it every 6 months
Do not purchase this, it’s a waste of money. I’ve had it for only 6 months, and as you can see from the picture, the fabric is already coming apart. I don’t think this product is suitable for outdoor use. I live in an area with mild weather (mostly shaded, minimal rain, no snow, and limited sun exposure), and it still couldn’t handle that. Very disappointed. Customer support can’t help after 90 days, so the $100 I paid went to waste.

Outside Privacy!
I’m using this outside and it’s exactly what I needed! Since it’s in my flowerbed I sunk the little legs slightly to add stability…so far that’s working well.

Webbing material disintegrated within 8 months
This was advertised as an outdoor screen. It looked nice but literally touching the webbing after about 6-8 months, the material just fell apart. Had to throw it away.
