[ 책 소개 ]

* 2010 winner of PAL Award


Good Egg, Cornelius P Mud, Animal Kisses 등 다수의 베스트셀러 저자인 Barney Saltzberg의 대표작 중 하나입니다.

어른이든 아이든 살다보면 수많은 실수를 합니다. 페이지를 넘기다 실수로 책을 찢거나 접기도 하고, 페인트를 엎지르기도 하고, 잉크 방울을 떨어트리거나 물감을 묻히기도 하고, 컵 밑에 내용물을 흘려서 바닥에 자국을 남기기도 하고, 종이에 구멍을 뚫거나 구기기도 하지요.

저자는 이런 실수들로 낙담하는 대신에 상상력이나 창의력을 발휘하는 기회로 삼는 기발함을 보여줍니다.

찢어진 종이가 페이지를 넘기면 악어의 입이 되고, 쏟아진 페인트 자국이 플랩을 넘겨보면 코끼기로 변하며, 접혀진 페이지는 팽귄의 머리가 되기도 하고, 지저분한 물감 자국들은 낚시를 하는 토끼로 변하기도 합니다.

아이들의 상상력을 자극하고 발상의 전환이 갖는 의미를 깨닫게 하는 기발한 내용들이 가득한 재미있는 책입니다.

Book Description
A life lesson that all parents want their children to learn: It’s OK to make a mistake. In fact, hooray for mistakes! A mistake is an adventure in creativity, a portal of discovery. A spill doesn’t ruin a drawing& not when it becomes the shape of a goofy animal. And an accidental tear in your paper? Don’t be upset about it when you can turn it into the roaring mouth of an alligator.
Barney Saltzberg, the effervescent spirit behind Good Egg, offers a one-of-a-kind interactive book that shows young readers how every mistake is an opportunity to make something beautiful. A singular work of imagination, creativity, and paper engineering, Beautiful Oops! is filled with pop-ups, lift-the-flaps, tears, holes, overlays, bends, smudges, and even an accordion “telescope” each demonstrating the magical transformation from blunder to wonder.
The smudge becomes the face of a bunny, a crumpled ball of paper turns into a lamb’s fleecy coat celebrate the oops in life.


Kirkus Reviews
A pleasingly tactile exploration of the possibilities inherent in mistakes. "A torn piece of paper... is just the beginning!" Spills, folded paper, drips of paint, smudges and smears - they "all can make magic appear." An increasingly complex series of scenarios celebrates random accidents, encouraging artistic experimentation rather than discouragement. The folded-over paper can be a penguin's head; a torn piece of newsprint can turn into a smiling dog with a little application of paint; a hot-chocolate stain can become a bog for a frog. Thanks to a telescoping pop-up, a hole is filled with nearly limitless possibilities. The interactive elements work beautifully with the photo-collaged "mistakes," never overwhelming the intent with showiness. Saltzberg's trademark cartoon animals provide a sweetly childlike counterpoint to the artful scribbles and smears of gloppy paint. A festive invitation to creative liberation.
