The Girl Who Never Made Mistakes by Mark Pett and Gary Rubinstein is a book I decided to make Book of the Month that is available through my library's Hoopla account. This is a good book for kids who are afraid to make mistakes and what to do when a mistake is made.
Summary: Meet Beatrice Bottomwell: a nine-year-old girl who has never (not once!) made a mistake. Life for Beatrice is sailing along pretty smoothly until she does the unthinkable-she makes her first mistake. And in a very public way!
Ages: 4-8
"They just called her 'the Girl Who Never Made Mistakes' because for as long as anyone could remember, she never did."This story is perfect for sharing the very important message that no one is perfect and that it's exhausting to try to be. It's also a good lesson to teach what to do if a mistake is made...just laugh it off and realize mistakes are a part of life.
I liked how this story had the element of Beatrice's brother, Carl, being able to enjoy making mistakes and how it showed how much more fun her friends were having by not being afraid of making mistakes. Beatrice's mistake happens while on stage for school, making this the book to read for kids who have stage fright.
