Nothing ventured, nothing gained! From science experiments that go horribly wrong to sour notes, bike mishaps, and embarrassing disasters, every day is filled with opportunities for failures--and ultimate successes--that shape a child's character. Even grandma's hugs outside of school, which could provide fodder for ridicule, are precious moments that are worth the effort! Illustrator Sally Springer uses a light touch and luminous colors to capture each excruciating moment while author Mark Burrows draws on his experience with young children to create a realistic take on everyday activities. While experiences may seem scary, embarrassing, or silly, youngsters are encouraged to try them anyway!
Kids will love this hilarious fairy tale adventure packed with clever twists, familiar characters and page-turning fun.
